Testimonial for Cheryl Murfin, MA/IAEd, CD
Cheryl is truly a superhero - she was strong and loving and sweet through 20+ hours of extensive back labor, through hospital transfer, through 3 hrs of attempted vaginal delivery, and through the necessary cesarian. She was by my side the entire time, even in the operating room. Then, when my 2-day old baby had to quickly go to the NICU for high bilirubin levels (jaundice), she VOLUNTEERED to accompany us there! She was reassuring and informed during the NICU treatment, and for the transfer from NICU to the floor, she became a fierce advocate. We were treated pretty terribly on the floor - I was very post-op but not given anywhere to lie down, the nurse didn't even begin treatment of our baby - and Cheryl, through a brilliant combination of brains, willpower, and not-taking-any-shit, ensured we were moved to a better room. SHE turned on the treatment lights when the nurse was neglectful! She called everyone at the hospital she could find until we were treated appropriately and humanely. I love her so much for being protective and smart and caring when we were at our most vulnerable.
