My son had an adverse reaction to methadone, requiring a Narcan drip and multiple doses of Narcan. Despite the sheer volume of Narcan, he repeatedly stopped breathing. Leah stood for so many hours at his bedside, providing her unique blend of volume and time-honored nursing practices, to keep my son breathing and safe.

In this incredibly stressful situation, she maintained a sunny, optimistic outlook that helped me stay calm. Leah read the room beautifully and provided moments of lightheartedness while still acknowledging the seriousness of the situation. She and the entire PICU staff hold a very special place in our hearts for the care they provided for my son.
