My husband was suffering from metastatic melanoma and couldn't be with me for much of my labor induction. When I connected with Lynzi, she was so nurturing and caring about my situation and even though she was very busy, she was willing to help me. She met me at the hospital and was there throughout my labor. She is very knowledgable in positioning, pain relief techniques, and guided me on what quetsions to ask to advocate for myself. She would discuss my progress with the nurses and doctor, and took copious notes on timing of different medications and medical updates. All along I didn't know she was also updating my husband on everything that was going on. She made sure he was comfortable when he arrived and that he was able to participate in supporting me the best he could. When it was decided that I had to be taken for a c-section, Lynzi stayed for that as my husband could no longer physically do so. She was running on little sleep but extended herself. Lynzi will also listen to your feedback and ultimately let you make informed decisions for yourself. For example, after I discussed with the nurse and decided that I would like antibiotic ointment for my baby's eyes, Lynzi respected my decision to do so. Also she gave her opinion on having my baby evaluated for tongue tie, and although the pediatrician thought we should wait and luckily it did seem to work out fine, having her advocate for a closer look at that was helpful. After my deliver she drove all the way from Santa Barbara to Oxnard the next morning to help me with feeding, something she didn't have to do. She also still checks in with me, has people praying and even offering to feed me after my husband passed away soon after my delivery. For all of that I will always be appreciative of her. Love you Lynzi!
