November 17, Modern Medicine

Exactly 15 months ago today, modern medicine and the kindest medical professionals I have ever met brought my baby into this world.  From the beginning, when we were first referred to the maternal fetal specialist, we dealt with the most thoughtful group of people.  From the ultra-sound techs to the ladies at check in, they knew my story, they knew what we were up against, and they cared for me and our unborn baby like one of their own.

During my 6 week stay in the hospital, I had the most compassionate nurses one could ask for.  My OB, who visited me daily, not only told me she had begun praying for our family, but had tears in her eyes as she introduced my parents and sister to Paisley Andrew.  Even the anesthesiologist took a fatherly type role in the operating room, keeping a hand on my shoulder and talking me through every step of the procedure.  

The first time I met Paisley's pediatrician, I knew I was going to like her.  She was referred to me by one of our ultra-sound techs.  She and I quickly bonded as she wanted to hear Scott and my story and then told me about the loss of her unborn twins.  She doesn't act like Paisley's Dr., but more like a fellow mom that has way more knowledge then I have.  She has a little boy one month younger than P, so we are also experiencing "motherhood" at the same time.  

I may be the only person that actually likes visiting my OB and the pediatrician as they are such intelligent, kind, caring women.  I told Scott they are both people I would hang out with and I lucked out on getting both of them in my life.

Not to leave anyone out...I also have a wonderful dentist that massages my gums and tongue (he's looking for lumps and swelling).  My sister is a nurse and my go-to for strange looking moles or eye irritations.  These people all do jobs that I don't have the stomach to do.  I can barely administer a band-aid to a scratch without getting weak in the knees.  

For the people that took an oath to care for others, to help others deal with heartbreaking medical issues,  to help unborn babies have the best shot of life as possible, for those that have the stomachs to deal with the blood and "stuff"....I give thanks!
