She would say goodbye and rub my arm letting me know she was thinking of me.
I was triaged into the birthplace for my son not moving. We found out at 32 weeks that he was gone. She was my night nurse for the 3 days we were there. She was exceptional with her care going above and beyond! She would get down on my level and talk quietly and explain everything to me. She came in quickly when we called for her and made sure my needs were met. If I had questions, she gave me a quick answer or got it for me right away. She made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. Leaving every morning she would come in and let me know she was leaving. She would say goodbye and rub my arm letting me know she was thinking of me. When it was time to deliver my son, she was right by my side reassuring me that I was going to be okay and that I could do it. The last night before we got discharged, she came in to let us know she was leaving and asked to give me a hug, and said how sorry she was about my son. She went above and beyond what any nurse I have ever had did!

She did such an amazing job with my son and daughter-in-law. We found out their baby boy had passed away at 32 weeks. This woman came in and helped with her labor and was so gentle with her. She helped her with all her pains and cleanup. She helped her mentally as well. Cheered her in during the labor and then afterward helped her with the grieving. She was amazing.
