'It really wasn't anything that I struggled about—it was just something that had to happen. He had to come home with me.'
One ICU nurse has redefined the term caretaker and changed a young man's life, a hospital staff's perspective and her own family in the process.
Pinkard, who is high functioning autistic, said he lived with his grandmother until she died in 2012 and his mother was in a rehab facility, so when he got sick last August he had no one to turn to. "When you're a nurse and wanting to fix and help people that can be very frustrating if you know a patient needs something and for whatever reason they can't have it," she said.
"Most caregivers have big hearts, but I have not seen any nearly as close to Lori. Besides needing the heart, he needed caregivers, he needed that support," Robertson said. "She's uprooted everything to do this, to take care of him. To me it was above and beyond anything and she deserves to be recognized for it," Hamilton said."If I could just be half the nurse that she is and to have the compassion that she has, then I will have done a good job."
