Sandi was one of our nurses during the delivery of my first child. We came in to be induced and had a C-section at 2:17 am. I was really disappointed to not have my mom and husband there for my son’s delivery due to COVID protocols, but Sandi stepped in as a mother figure. When I was stubbornly sticking to my no-pain medication plan but unable to sleep due to the excruciating contractions, Sandi helped me by just talking through my options and letting me know there was no judgment. That I should do what I needed to.

When pain medications didn’t work, Sandi knew the anesthesiologist’s schedule and ran to find him before his scheduled C-sections so I could get fast relief. She also put me in the shower and sweetly re-braided my hair. She went out of her way to find us the next day in Mother Baby to see how I was doing when she heard I had a C-section. Sandi made a really hard labor, a scary delivery, and a difficult couple of days so much better just by showing how much she cared about me. I could not really be more grateful. She will forever be part of our family.
