I was feeling desperate and prayed that God would send me a nurse angel and he did when Joseph came on his shift. My dad was weakening every day from no nourishment for 10 days. Joseph listened to my plea of urgency to get nourishment started. The nose tube clogged every ten minutes. Joseph worked tirelessly to keep it going. He exercised dad's arms that were tied down, checked for broken skin, and rolled him from side to side. He explained everything to me and made me feel that he truly cared for my dad.
