Griffin Liam born 4-11-08

"I am so grateful to have had Ellen at my daughter's birth. Working with Ellen before I went into labor helped me decide how I might respond to the many questions the medical staff asked. Ellen helped us to understand what was happening and explained how each decision would affect our options later. I was thankful to have Ellen by my side as my daughter was diagnosed with PRS (Pierre Robin Sequence). Throughout all twists and turns in my labor (over 50 hours!) and delivery (less than 50 minutes!), Ellen was calm, compassionate and a steady companion on whom I could rely and lean on. She was at the birth exclusively for me and that makes all the difference."- Jenna M.
