September 2023 Honoree
Chau Luu, RN
I was staying on the Mother Baby floor, recovering from a long labor and a C-section. I was having a difficult time breastfeeding my son, and it was causing a great deal of pain! I have never felt so exhausted or have felt this defeated in my life! Chau started her shift following the worst night I had experienced, and I felt her positive energy the second she walked in! Right away, she assessed the situation, and she identified that my son was tongue-tied. This is why he was struggling to latch and also why I was in so much pain. She then helped demonstrate different techniques, and this, too, helped a great deal. Throughout her whole shift, I felt very well taken care of, and she definitely went above and beyond to support us to have a more successful breastfeeding experience! After this, my son and I were able to move forward with breastfeeding! The difference was astonishing! He was able to latch correctly, and I wasn't experiencing extreme pain! I know now that I wouldn't have been able to be successful with breastfeeding my child without this correction! I am so grateful for this nurse, and we will never forget how she helped us! I'm happy to say that we are still successfully breastfeeding! Thank you!
Thank you, Chau, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
