Mary and Rick

Mary was invaluable to us during his hospital stay. The day of his surgery was stressful to say the least, and when the nurses told me that I had to stay up to watch the heart monitor all night, that was about my limit. They must have realized this, because the cardiac doctor phoned our insurance company and asked for some help. Mary came and spent the night - she literally watched the monitor all night while I tried to sleep - sitting in a chair beside the bed! We had a shock in the middle of the night when the monitor flat lined - you wouldn't believe how fast that room filled with doctors and nurses! It turned out that Rick had turned over and unplugged it accidentally - couldn't figure out what all the fuss was. Mary has since been invaluable- meets Rick whenever he needs a translator for doctors appts or to get pills. Thank you Mary!!
