... My sister's assigned nurse got sick and had to leave. John filled in, which was the best thing that could have happened. He got things taken care of with a huge smile on his face and was very energetic and happy. He included all of us and had us, and most importantly, my sister in great spirits. Without thinking we were talking and my sister yelled "Oh my gosh"! He came running and said "... I'm glad you're ok but we're going to have a heart to heart and you're never going do that again" all while we're laughing. Even a few days later we're talking about him and always hoping he is her nurse again. The next day he even came by and said hi to us.

John deserves major kudos because he makes the hospital kind of a fun place to be, while getting things done. My sister is still in the hospital and will probably be there another week as she gets surgery Monday. We hope to see a lot more of John!
