When Excellence Feels Personal
Some moments remind you that care is not just what we do, it is how we do it. 💙🩶🧡
Little Baylor was having tubes placed in his ears, and like any mama, Haley Powell walked in with a full heart and a whole lot of nerves. What followed eased her heart in ways she did not expect.
Tyler Harris, one of our CRNAs, wrapped Baylor up and carried him back to the OR like he was his own. Baylor went straight into his arms without fear. Then Simmie Driggers, PACU RN, snuggled him, comforted him, and kept him calm until he was peacefully back with his mom and dad.
Haley later shared,
“They settled my nerves even when my anxiety was high. I trusted my own hospital with my family, and they showed up in every way.”
Now, she is rocking her baby with tears in her eyes, still overwhelmed by how gently and intentionally they cared for her son. This is the kind of care that stays with families forever.
And as if this story could not get any sweeter, Baylor later saw Tyler again while out to eat at a local restaurant. Even then, he remembered him. That bond was still there. A reminder that the moments our caregivers create truly last far beyond the walls of our hospital.
We are so grateful for these “boy bonding” moments that turn fear into faith and tears into trust. This is what caring like family truly looks like. 💙
