Dad will be going to skilled nursing tomorrow at The Villages of Southern Hills. It is at 57th Lewis. Dad has had some really good nurses at St Francis this time. But one of his nurses was Awesome… her name was Hillary. I usually do not brag too much on just one but this one was so wonderful with Dad. I knew when she was his nurse that I did not have to worry I knew he was in the best of care. She went the extra mile. Dad has to be fed with a feeding tube so at this time he does not have the pleasure of eating like the rest of us. He would tell his nurses that he was getting tired of eating Vanilla Boost and he would like Chocolate. They would tell him they could not get it in chocolate. (I am sure they thought it did not matter… how could he taste it anyway. But he could taste it because he would sometime belch it and he would always make a face and say “Eww Vanilla” Anyway today when I walked in the room there was chocolate boost which Hillary had went through the dietician and ordered just for Dad. Not only that the Villages could not get his food for a couple days from their supplier and so Hillary got the doctor to order up enough for 2 days to send with him (chocolate as well) to the new place he is going. Hillary not only does her job flawlessly but she is compassionate and goes the extra mile to make a difference in the lives of others. A rarity in the medical field these days. It’s not just a job she really cares. Kudos Hillary… your tops in our books …don’t ever change! Your one of a kind!
