Denise was amazing during our stay in the PICU. Our daughter was in a terrible car accident, and while she was in the PICU, Denise helped me to wash our daughter’s hair and to keep her clean. Our daughter never got any bed sores or skin problems because the nurses were so diligent with her cares. Even if we had just changed the bed and we had to do it again, Denise never complained. She was always just concerned with keeping my daughter cared for. Something as simple as washing my daughter’s hair was a big undertaking, but Denise never made it feel that way. Those simple things made it seem like we were doing something while we were waiting for our baby girl to wake up. Denise was there when our daughter spoke to us for the first time and she celebrated with us- she also came and saw our daughter after she left the PICU.

My Little girl came in having extremely low calcium and seizures. She had a tonic-clonic seizure. Denise took the best care of her. She then comforted me as I broke down.  She made sure things were right with her, such as… Labs- they wanted to take too much blood, she questioned it, and called doctors to make sure they didn’t take too much blood from her tiny body. She took my daughter on many walks and treated her with love! Even though she wasn’t her nurse the last day, she still came in, checked on her, colored, and took her on a walk. Denise did an Outstanding Job taking care of my baby. She wasn’t the only one who was awesome, though!
