Wichita nurse survivor grand story ends with pinning
Avery Gerleman, now 23, credits Wesley Medical Center nurses who saved her as a child with guiding her path to becoming a licensed practical nurse. She plans to earn her RN later, while balancing work in the same pediatric ICU where she was cared for during 2006-07, a trail that Vatican investigators view in light of Father Emil Kapaun’s sainthood inquiry.
