Charley was a toddler when I met her. I cared for her the first night she came out of the ICU and was in her hospital room during most of my 12-hour shift, getting to know her family and trying to help them process what was happening. 

I've spent my entire nursing career at Children's Health and majority of it has been caring for nephrology patients like Charley. Many of our patients spend three to five days a week receiving dialysis treatment for hours. I'm in awe of their dedication to their care as they wait for a transplant. 

I don't always have the answers, but being by their side through their journeys is how I bring the magic to them each day.
