One of the nights that was working blaine was having a hard time catching his breath and i had to sit with him And make sure i could get his O2 sTats back up to normal, i had him distracted by talking to me about mardi Gras. Blaine instantly became one of the residents i got close to. During The last days i worked with him and helped him he kept saying how good i was to him. Blaine was a sweet and thoughtful man. My condolences are with the family. Im grateful to have heard some stories that hE shared with me while i took care of him.
