Gratitudes
The following letter was sent to James Mandell, MD, president and CEO of Children’Äôs Hospital Boston.
Dear Dr. Mandell,
We would like to express our deepest appreciation for the care and compassion we received from the entire staff on 6 East Cardiac and P6 Cardiac Intensive Care. We cannot say enough good things about the wonderful people there. Our son Daniel was admitted on August 10 for a heart transplant. He received his transplant on October 30. We feel that Dan received the finest medical care the world has to offer and was cared for by some of the most compassionate and caring staff we have encountered during our long journey. The nursing staff, Child Life specialist, administrative support staff and Environmental Services people are all to be commended for their caring and support, which made our stay of 100 days (85 on 6 East and 15 in the ICU) more bearable.
They always greeted us with smiling faces and a positive attitude. This was not an easy time for our son Daniel, but your extraordinary staff on 6 East and P6 made it a little easier to handle. Please convey our appreciation to all of these amazing people.
Sincerely,
Charles and Jean Colbert
