TESTIMONIALS
After six months spent at the Pediatric Subacute Unit, C is ready to be
discharged to a rehabilitation program to focus on his recovery. “From
the time our son came to the hospital after a fall that caused a head
injury, we always relied in our faith,” said mom. “I prayed
day and night for his recuperation,” she continued. “The support
and care all the nurses gave to our son, helped us through this stressful
situation”. C’s parents were encouraged by the signs he kept
on showing as weeks and months went by. First, by recognizing mom and
dad and later when he was able to communicate to tell them he was feeling
well and the nurses were taking good care of him. “Our son had a
special person, a night nurse named Jackie” said mom. “He
drew pictures for her… He even asked us to buy a gift for her birthday.”
The bond between nurses and patients is evident at the unit, the staff
becomes family to the children and the dedication and loving care they
pour on their young patients are always present. The family is very grateful
for the care C received. “Everybody was so good to him; the nurses,
doctors, therapists, social worker, all of them were great” said
dad. “We are now ready to move forward and help our son gain a full
recovery.”

and care he receives from the nurses, doctors and therapists." said

staff for everything they have done for my son!"
