My son is so lucky to have had Danielle
My son is a 21-month-old boy with hemophilia B so he had to get blood work done often. On night shift he was scheduled to get blood taken at 4:00 AM but Danielle thought it was unfair to get it done at that time, considering my son’s age and how unbelievably upset he would get. Danielle managed to get it done at 9:00 AM when he was up. I cannot express how much relief I had when she said that because he had just got the midnight blood draw, with slow blood flow. Danielle saw how upset my son was. My son is so lucky to have had Danielle, she saved him from a whole night of pain. She took time to make sure he had a good night's rest. We love her for this!
