'24/7, they were there. I did everything I could. I'm not a quitter. But I couldn't have done it without them. 'To be where I am now and see their faces, I think it gives them hope. 'I feel great. I'm beating it.' For ICU nurse Stacey Daughenbaugh, who works at the center where Henning was treated, getting to meet him during his recovery led to a hopeful moment. 'There are rough days in nursing; there are very rough days,' she said. 'Days like this make it worthwhile. It makes you remember why you're doing this.' Source
