It was so scary and difficult for him, but because of Marlena, he stayed motivated.
My husband has been in the ICU because he had open-heart surgery. I had strep throat for the first three days of his hospitalization and could not visit him. During that time, he was scared and alone. Thank God for Marlena and all your ICU staff. She kept him calm, explained all the tests he needed, and did so with excellent knowledge, which helped put his mind at rest.

All the medicine he received confused him until she explained it. His surgery was rough because there ended up being so many things wrong with his heart. It was so scary and difficult for him, but because of Marlena, he stayed motivated.

I can’t say enough about her. We had some bad weather, which caused me to be unable to drive down to visit, but Marlena kept his spirits up. I can never repay her for going above and beyond her duties.

Marlena, thank you very much.. I will forever be grateful for your love and compassion in this situation.
