Thank you, Alex, for caring for my father as if he were your own dad.
My father, visiting Missoula for a family reunion, tripped while playing pickleball at 79 years old. He ended up breaking his hip in four locations and needed surgery. I am a nurse myself, and I have very high expectations and standards when it comes to patient care, especially when it is a family member needing care.
Alex consistently exceeded all of my expectations. She cared for my father for three of the eight days he was hospitalized and consistently went above and beyond to care for not only him, but his family as well. My dad is very active and hasn't had any type of surgery since the 1970s, so being hospitalized that long was quite an adjustment for him. Also, breaking his hip on vacation added insult to injury. Alex was always so kind and patient with him and always showed compassionate care to him, despite him being grumpy at times.
He was hospitalized for so long due to orthostatic BP issues, and Alex was attentive to his vitals and was very thorough with her assessments. She administered multiple fluid boluses and blood transfusions with expertise. At one point she needed to place a new PIV and explained to us the rational and what she was thinking (it was due to timing of a fluid bolus and blood administration) and I greatly appreciated her explaining why she was going to place a new PIV.
She was exceptional at explaining the plan of care and goals for each day, so we knew what to expect. She communicated very well with other staff (MD, PT, OT, Tech) who were caring for my father and always kept us updated on any changes in the plan of care. She was also very attentive to my dad's pain needs and ensured he received his pain medications in a very timely manner. It was very obvious that Alex cared about my dad's well-being and really wanted him to get better and go home.
She also allowed me (as appropriate) to help with my dad's daily cares (bath, linen changes, setting up meals, etc.), which made me feel like I was helping my dad get better, too.
Thank you, Alex, for caring for my father as if he were your own dad. You made his (and our) hospital stay the best it could be. You were the only nurse my dad called by name, so it is obvious you left a positive impression on him.
Thank you for what you did for him and our family. I knew he was in good hands when you were caring for him.
