My husband was operated on to remove a cancerous mass from his lung. I was extremely nervous throughout the whole procedure. Yedah went above and beyond the call of duty. She brought me a glass of water when I was very upset and she repeatedly answered the same questions over and over for me. She is very patient and understanding because I am very neurotic. She would consistently check his temperature, blood pressure, and the drains whenever I called her. I lost count how many times I called her and she was always patient and kept telling me everything would be ok. My husband has MS, he is bedridden, and his mind is not completely clear. Yedah spoke to him with the most respect and understanding. What more can I say? Yedah is the greatest!
