Her cheering me on and way with words made me push harder through the process.
She was my nurse both days during the delivery of our baby boy. I have never seen or felt such compassion from someone. I will not be able to put into words every single thing this nurse did for us. However, the care and compassion she gave not only me, but the Dad as well, was unspeakable. She never once ignored my partner. She was explaining to both of us every single thing and answered all questions. She advocated for me and my wishes for the delivery.

Her cheering me on and way with words made me push harder through the process. As a nurse myself, she has opened my eyes to how much we impact our patients/families and their outcomes.

When telling family and friends about the delivery of our boy, she is always brought up. I find myself telling them more about the amazing care I received from her and how much she impacted everything. Even looking at pictures, her face during the deliver shows exactly the nurse she is.

All three of us cannot thank her enough for what she did during the labor and delivery of our precious boy.
