Many miles from home, visitors discover “angels” at Boone Hospital

My spouse and I from Rapid City, S.D., are visiting our son and his family here in Columbia.

My spouse suffered a leaking ascending aneurysm six days ago. Dr. Mellitt, the nursing staff and the entire Boone Hospital have performed a miracle – from the ten hour surgery to her transfer to intermediate care today.

Our two grandchildren were born in this hospital. Our son has been treated here and he recommended that we come here when my spouse suffered her attack.

As I wrote on the board in her intensive care room: MIRACLES PRACTICED HERE, CARRIED OUT BY ANGELS DISGUISED AS DOCTORS AND NURSES.
