Hello my name is Ihilani ( E-He-La-knee) I started my caregiving career with my grandmother at the age of 10 when I went to live with her, after her hip surgery. That is when I knew that being with people during their most vulnerable time was a ministry and not just a job. I believe that no matter what age or stage in your life we can all need help and more important a sense of protection during these times. Mind Body and Soul all need to be nurtured when we are going through health issues. and it brings me great joy to know that I able to help others when they are experiencing medical, mental or soul pain or just a helping hand making sure that the quality of life that a person lives is safe and secure no matter what stage of life they are in. While working with a nursing home... My new patient, would not let me touch him. I couldn't take vitals, bathing was out of the question, he was just mad at the world and I understood. I noticed my new patient had extreme dry mouth and was very dehydrated. I asked, "What is your favorite drink?" He replied,I love orange juice and I have not had any in 4 years. "What???" I look at my new patient and said I will be right back. I returned to the room in about 5minutes and my patient says well this is a first. I asked What is a first? He replies back "That you came back" I look at him and smiled, Sir you do not scare me with a giggle and I have something for you I believe you will love.He looks at me, smirks what could you possibly have for me? walking towards him holding a half gallon jug of orange juice with a straw saying " Your favorite drink Sir." My new patient looks at me saying, I will let you take care of me. Remembering this story makes me tear up. We had a great friendship that only lasted for 6months before he passed, but we laughed, he taught me things and encouraged me in my life's journey and while I only had 6 months with him, when I think of why I love what I do I think about him

Hello My Name is Erica, I am a Caregiver I have been a caregiver all my life really it started when i was 3 years old I would always take care of my uncle Christopher. I was really to young to know what he had(Kidney Cancer) but I always knew he was sick. I stood by his side and took care of him any and everything he needed i was there my family always called me his little nurse i would watch and help my mother and grand mother give him his medicine and comfortable before and up until his death. so as year went by I would always help my other family members when getting old enough to realize certain things and study on things. I started watching my grandmother and my father as diabetics take medicine my father taught me how to give insulin and my grandmother taught me how to take blood pressure and blood sugar. My grandmother was around her 40's when her help started getting bad and I would always help her with things but my grandmother was on oxygen I would always go to doctors appointments and learn how to work things they gave her or how to give it to her. They Tried to offer my grandmother Dialysis she was obese and she declined because of rumors of death because of it and months later she had a stroke and passed away. my father started taking dialysis and learn after years of football as a kid an always being on his feet he had to get his toes amputated so I learned to do dressing and cleaning wounds his foot healed. My Aunts deal with my great grandmother having dementia and alzheimer's we sent her to rehabs and Nursing homes but they wanted my grandmother to rest easy and be with family for her finale days my aunts didn't know what to do so they hired me and I leaned to deal with hospice care and work a hoyer lifter and did that before her finale days.. so it made me worker harder to get to my dream as a nurse I am still working on getting my CNA license. and for now doing Caregiving until I am done.
