after many months and nurses we are so thankful for their care, encouraging words and acts of care that go well above their duties. Our last nurse after my husband's second allo transplant brought us ginger ale, orange juice, plastic champagne glasses on the day of discharge and then went on to hail a cab in NYC. I mention the fluff, but they were always right there checking in whenever needed and there with the needed meds right away.

Thank you so much for all you and your teammates do, there are not enough words to describe the role you play to recovery
