A nurse might be a complete stranger, but they’re the people who are there for you every step of the way in both the happiest and hardest moments in your life.
As a little girl, Brittany Ellard Perryman’s mother, Dawn, used to tell her the story of her birth at the Brookwood Hospital in 1990, and the angel nurse who helped her in the most painful yet most incredible moment.
“She was terrified,” Brittany said, “…but it was all okay, because Daphney was there. She was an angel to my mom, and mom said she wouldn’t have made it without Daphney.”
Dawn remembers how her nurse, Daphney Jones Walker, saved the day by caring for her and never leaving her as no family members were at the hospital when Brittany was finally born.
25 years later, Brittany arrived at the same hospital she was born in to give birth to her daughter Caroline. When Daphney heard Brittany was in the hospital, she came to see Brittany and told her she would be staying with her to deliver her daughter.
When Dawn walked into the room, she was stunned to see Daphney sitting with her daughter. “I said, ‘Mom I have a surprise for you!’ and then Daphney turned around and my mom knew immediately who it was,” Brittany said.
Brittany later turned to Facebook to recount the incredible moment and thank Daphney and nurses who work so tirelessly for their patients. “I want her to have evidence of all the lives she has touched… I know a lot of nurses shadow her, and I want them to see that if you take care of and love your patients, you can change their lives,” Brittany wrote.
After seeing the post, Daphney responded in the most touching way. “…it is all of you who make my day. I get to share such an important day with so many precious, wonderful families. That is a blessing I thank Jesus for all of the time! The delivery that prompted this post will stand out as one of the most precious and memorable of my career.”
