On August 3,2010, my 11-year-old daughter, Dahlia, and my 14-year-old daughter, Sharoya, were attacked in their home by a family member.
Dahlia was DOA when the paramedics arrived. Sharoya was critical from loss of blood due to multiple stabbed wounds. She was life-flighted to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
She went immediately into emergency surgery to save her life. Children's Hospital of Los Angeles went above and beyond to help her recover.
The nurses were extremely understanding to her traumatic event. They had the child pyschologist visit her daily to see how she was feeling, and also had them speak with family.
They went above and beyond to make sure my family and I were dealing with the loss of our daughter, and to understand the long recovery process for Sharoya. They even had a guard outside her door 24 hours a day to give her added safety. We constantly had people coming in to offer their services and to meet our needs, to help us in our tragic time.
Before Sharoya left the hospital she had her first therapy appointment scheduled. I am so thankful to the staff, this was the worst time in my families life and they made it bearable.
