For Aveanna patient Anthony and his nurse, Shakirah, care goes far beyond the bedside.
After being born prematurely, Anthony has encountered different challenges in his medical journey including intestinal failure and liver disease. He lives with a G-tube and a central-line, yet with everything he's dealt with, his sweet smile and active personality shines through.
Nurse Shakirah came into Anthony's life over a year ago, and her care is all he has ever known. With her pivotal role as part of his care team, she ensures he can run, crawl, and play like any other two year old while staying safe and healthy at home. The care she provides has given Anthony's family the optimism that their loved one can thrive with others his age and navigate any other obstacle that might come his way.
We are touched to play a part in Anthony's care journey. To learn more about Aveanna's private duty nursing services in your area, visit https://pulse.ly/qvwnainjwu.
