During the birth of my fourth daughter, my wife began having complications while in the bathroom, Whitney was Nurse lead, and while the nurse and myself were handling my wife in the bathroom, my daughter's head began descending while OP and myself and the nurse requested help.
Whitney came in guns blazing and caught our baby upside down and OP with only about 30 seconds or less of time to assess and act. She slid in like a rockstar, caught our baby, and was the first to jump into action.
The next day, I began experiencing dizzy spells due to back pain, and she was the first to offer to walk me down to the ER to get checked out. She is a shining example of her practice, very upbeat and positive, great with mom, baby, and didn’t blow me off either.
She took charge of the situation, gave everyone clear directions, and got the job done with no complaints, and even with an excitement that was contagious. She's very passionate about what she does, and it's evident.
