I'm glad that your wife had such good care.

5 1/2 years ago my husband had a stroke. He was airlifted from TV hospital to Gainesville. I can't say enough good things about the care he received in ICU Neuro. They did not expect him to survive but thankfully he is here today. I'll keep a very long story short but he ended up in several different parts of the hospital and one was Pulminary where a nurse saved my husband's life after a cardiac arrest. Later when I thanked the nurse he was so humble about it. All in a days work.
