PRAISE
“It is hard to put into words what these women did for me and my family. Pam and Pat signed on for a night nursing job that entailed one healthy newborn, but unconditionally rose to the occasion to care for me and my whole family. Pam and Pat joyfully joined our family on May 12 to give us the helping hands with baby #3, Conor. I always looked forward to their arrival every night! They are the most kind, caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable and dependable women I know. As some weeks went by, Pam and Pat kept informing me of some “out of the norm” things they noticed with Conor, which I had been noticing too. On June 26th I took him into a GI specialist who discovered a tumor in his kidney, which ended up to be a Stage III Wilms’ Tumor. Conor was treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The ONLY way our family got through this was because Pam and Pat were there to do anything and everything. They were there to talk, a shoulder to cry on. They cared for my other two young children when we had to be in the city very early for radiation. But, most importantly, they loved and comforted my little baby through all the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. This has been the most emotional and exhausting year of my life, but I made it through because of Pam and Pat’s unconditional love and support. Pam and Pat’s help with all the daily home medical care that Conor needed put him on a fast track to remission. Now I am proud and thankful to say my 1 year old little boy is a cancer survivor, and we could not have done it with out Pam and Pat.”
