Through an epidural, labor, and delivery, Tabitha worked to keep me as comfortable as possible.
At 27 weeks pregnant we discovered our worst possible fear had occurred, our baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. What started as a routine check-up became an admission to UK for induction of labor. Through an epidural, labor, and delivery, Tabitha worked to keep me as comfortable as possible. After birth, she allowed me to briefly be unhooked from my IV fluids so that I could more easily hold my baby girl, which meant the world to me. Tabitha worked so hard to make sure our initial moments with our daughter were as wonderful as they could be given the circumstances. Tabitha is the embodiment of what a nurse should be: compassionate, caring, and a true advocate for her patients. We will never forget her and what she means to our family.
