I experienced an incredibly difficult birth that resulted in an emergency hysterectomy and extended hospital stay. Christie Giansiracusa offered support, care, and comfort during some of my lowest moments. She shared stories of her own family, and we connected over the joys and stresses of motherhood. She truly went above and beyond, taking extra care to change my incision sutures when I expressed discomfort and making me feel more like myself a little bit every day. Christie was my biggest advocate and pushed for me to stay in the hospital another night to recover, where it was then discovered I had postpartum preeclampsia. She championed for my care, and I am eternally grateful.
