Thank you.
I want to thank you, Ms. Hamill, for sharing. Like you, I had a baby during COVID. That was a complicated space to begin with, especially with all of the pieces.
Very similar to Ms. Falk, I then had my second baby. It was early and there were complications. We had to get airlifted out, go to another community and navigate that. My experience being in a NICU was the first time I'd really fully considered that there were babies dying around me and there were moms dying around me. There were things I'd never really contemplated. My first baby was very healthy, very similar to your Octavia, so this wasn't even something that would be in the brain. It was really heartbreaking to me to be in these NICUs, to hear some of these stories and to contemplate some of the challenges these people were going through.
I want to sincerely thank you for being brave in telling this story, letting your daughter's legacy build something spectacular and letting your loss be part of hopefully fixing part of this problem for someone else. Is there anything you'd like to share with us about your daughter so that when we're looking at this bill and we're looking to vote on this, we can think about some positive memories of your daughter?
