Soldier Reunited with Mother and Child after Skype Birth
Date : - 30/08/2009
Caption: On Thursday, July 30, family and friends reunited with Caitlyn White and her husband, Infantryman David White, Jr. at Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital to get a non-virtual look at the hospital and celebrate Cullen Patrick White’s growth. White was stationed abroad in Iraq at the time of Cullen’s delivery and watched the birth over Skype, a software application that allows users to make phone calls, use instant messaging, send files, or videoconference over the Internet.

WELLSBORO, PA—On Thursday, July 30, David White, Jr., a National Guard soldier who had watched his son, Cullen Patrick White, be born via Skype was able to see Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital in person. He and his wife, Caitlyn White, had Cullen weighed to see what his measurements would have been on his original due date of July 30. Cullen was born at 7:06 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7 weighing 5 lbs. 11.9 oz. and measuring 20 inches long. He is now 7 lbs. 12.7 ounces and 20 inches long.


When Caitlyn arrived at Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, July 7, she spoke with the nursing staff about using Skype to communicate with David. Skype is a software application that allows users to make phone calls, use instant messaging, send files, or videoconference over the Internet free of charge. Caitlyn had used Skype to stay in contact with David throughout the pregnancy, and when it came to deliver, she didn’t want him to miss out. Even though her husband couldn’t be there physically, Caitlyn had the strong support of her family. Her mother, Susan Hohenhaus, stepfather, Jay Hohenhaus, a CRNA and anesthetist at Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital, and sisters Haley Katherine Hohenhaus and Jillian Atkin were all present to help with the delivery.

“Both my husband and I are very appreciative for all that Haley and my family have helped us through! Haley was a wonderful coach, and I couldn't have asked for better support during such an important time,” said Caitlyn.
