I have been meaning to write this for a year, so on my daughter's first birthday I feel it's appropriate.
On Monday November 21, 2016 I gave birth to my daughter. I had a very quick, very intense labour followed by an emergency c-section with a general anaesthetic. I want to especially thank Jonna and Lisa. Their kindness and compassion for me during a dangerous time will never be forgotten. Every nurse that came in contact with me that day treated me with such respect. They reassured me, encouraged me and cared for me in a way I never expected.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and shed light on the extremely important and often underappreciated job these nurses have. These are women who leave their families to care for you and yours.
