Ashley Reeves, a member of the UMMC flight crew, transported a critically ill neonate from an out of town hospital. During a second transport to the NICU with a different patient, Ashley discovered the first patient transported would not live. This patient had no family at the hospital. Even though she could have returned to her unit to take a break, she elected to hold this baby for two hours until the baby passed away. Ashley went to "extraordinary" lengths to provide this baby personal contact and comfort in her loving arms. Ashley is a nurse who took the time to just be there.
