    Default Proud of my wife!

    Just wanted to throw this out there. It's a really great story...of tremendous happiness for one family even though another went through great sorrow to make it possible.

    My wife was one of the primary ICU RNs at Porter who cared for this guy following his liver transplant last week. If I recall correctly she was assigned to him for at least a couple of shifts because he was in such bad shape. I remember her telling me she got a liver transplant patient at the beginning of one of her shifts last week and that she had no other patients because he was in such bad shape and required constant care. I didn't realize at the time how critical it was. Seeing the family and "her patient" in the video kind of put it in perspective and helped me understand how important her job can be.

    I'm just proud of her and what she's accomplished as a nurse in such a short time. She quit her job in 03 and graduated from nursing school in late 04 (with a 3.97 GPA!).
