During her fourth month of pregnancy, B received the news that her baby had a confirmed diagnosis of anencephaly, a serious, fatal birth defect. She and her husband knew that carrying their daughter to full term was the right choice for their family. One of their wishes was that the staff be apprised of their situation before the day of delivery. Jennifer volunteered to be there for the birth of E.
"I have no doubt Jennifer was called to be a nurse," said B. "Almost every keepsake I have of E is because of Jennifer. From a lock of hair to copies of her footprints are all thanks to Jennifer. And, when I didn't have the strength to give E her first bath, Jennifer stepped in to help. I will be forever grateful for the care we received. I am thankful Jennifer was there for E's first and last breath. Jennifer is the kind of person and nurse unlike any other. She is passionate about what she does. She is the true definition of an extraordinary nurse."
