On July 18 I went into preterm labor with my twins at 21 weeks, 4 days. The doctors knew there was nothing they could do to stop the labor. Liz stayed by my side all night and helped comfort me as I prepared for the birth and death of my beautiful little babies. The next morning, July 19, I delivered Nathan and Natalie. Liz stayed almost 3 hours after her shift was over to see me through the delivery of my sweet angels. She had told my mom, who is also a nurse, that she had been called in on her day off to work. I know that she was called in to be with me through this tragic turn of events. She was so amazing. She was just so kind and compassionate. I will forever be grateful that Liz was my nurse that night. Thank you so much Liz!
