Patient words like these make every visit worth it. Drop a heart for Nurse Katie!
"My name is Rooney, I am 9 years old, and I have Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM). Because of my JDM, I have to have ten-hour IVIG, every six weeks. When I first started my treatments, I did them in the hospital and then in an infusion center. I hated them. It was a very long day and I was in a small room and couldn’t walk around. It was boring and uncomfortable. It felt like I was sick. We decided to try them at home and I got to meet my Katie. Katie is the best nurse I have ever met and I have met a lot of nurses. My infusions are very long and most kids (and grownups) would not like doing them. Katie makes it so fun that I can’t wait for my next treatment. I literally can’t wait. She is so fun, nice, funny, and takes such good care of me. She doesn’t just give me an IV and sit and wait for the time to take it out. If I ever don’t feel good, she knows how to make me feel better right then. She plays with me, we go on adventures in my yard, and she brings me surprises and crafts for us to do together. We play Roblox together, take selfies, and play with my dolls. Katie tells me all about what she is doing so I know what is happening to me. I have learned a lot from her. Katie is not just a great nurse, she is one of my favorite people on Earth, and one of my best friends. I am so lucky that she takes care of me."
