"Caring compassion at every level of care, that's what made our stay great" Hannah Thompson had been feeling ill all day. "I knew she was really ill when she asked me to hold her," said her mother, Jacque. "She is a very active little girl." By 5:00 in the evening, Hannah's fever escalated, causing her mother to become concerned. "She rolled over in order to change position posi-tion on my lap, and that's when I saw the huge lump on her neck. "At that moment, we decided I should take her to the Emergency Room at Ashley Regional Medical Center." Dr. Bruce Daniel saw Hannah and immediately ordered some diagnostic tests, and then consulted with Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, Dr. Michael Catten. After speaking with radiologist, Dr. David Perry, Dr. Catten was able to diagnosis an infection in Hannah's lymph nodes. She was admitted for treatment with antibiotics and steroids, and began to show signs of improvement. "Physicians are only part of what makes a good hospital great," said Hannah's mother. "Carlo, our night nurse, had so much compassion for Hannah. Leeza, the dietary worker, was very special to Hannah, because she brought her breakfast after nearly a day without food. Devin, the housekeeper, cleaned the floors during our stay, and two weeks later helped us find the physician's suite for our follow-up appointment. appoint-ment. Caring compassion at every level of care, whether you're the "food lady" or the physician, that's what made our stay great. Ashley Regional MEDICAL CENTER IWWfT' ' W"V "'"''""' " " .
