My husband and I, unfortunately, spent a few days here in the ICU. He was critical on arrival and was intubated with sedation. After a very crazy evening, she was a breath of fresh air in the morning at 7:00 am. She greeted me with a smile and was eager to get to work. My husband vomited 3-4 times with blood clots everywhere. She cleaned him up every time this happened within minutes and was always one step ahead of his needs during the stay. I watched Sarah assisting others and always had time for anyone who needed her. She is a true superstar and would go above and beyond. My husband was hot and within minutes, he had a fan.
Her other patient needed a sitter and I witnessed her take this patient who wanted to get out of her room to a computer next to her, so she could chart. The patient was so happy next to her. She had that patient wheelchaired outside to enjoy the nice spring day.
I forgot to mention that when she arrived and saw the hard chair I was given to be at my husband's side that night, she immediately found a chair when one became available to give to me. I also witnessed a patient walking through our hallway with a walker alone. I turned to my sister and said, "That is peculiar…" He passed the nurses station and Sarah was the first to notice him. I heard her say, "How can I help you?" I heard the patient state "I haven't walked in days". She said, "Where is your room?" He answered, "I am from another unit". I immediately watched Sarah walk him back to his room. She probably has done 100 more things during the 2 shifts we were able to have with her.
