I am just going to start out saying, I was told I should never have another child or I would die. When I first found out I was pregnant I tried to abort it due to what I was told; obviously, it didn't work. My local doctor knew I would have to see a specialist. He then made an appointment with a doctor in Omaha. I had a miserable experience with my last pregnancy so I wanted to call and tell my story and make sure I was seeing the right doctor. Turned out I wasn't scheduled with a proper doctor. I didn't have a steady nurse until I got Christine. I had told her my story and voiced all my concerns. She could sense how scared I was. Christine was with me through all my appointments, talked to me almost daily, and when I was in the hospital she came and saw me and made sure I was doing ok (most times off the clock). She scheduled all my appointments and correlated them. I can't ever thank her enough for all the time she put into my case. Like I said, I was very scared with this pregnancy and she held my hand/walked me through it. With her by my side she took away all stress and worry. All I needed to do was try to stay healthy and she did the rest! I truly can't think of anyone more deserving of this award.
