Mini Reunion

Sofie got to have a mini reunion with Dr. H. the other day.  Dr. H. was one of Sofie's primary Dr's while she was in the NICU at Children's Mercy. She spent a lot of time with Sofie, and we really bonded with her. Now Dr. H. works within the same hospital system as I do, and I see her once in a while at work, which is really nice. I'm so glad we've kept in touch, and very happy that Dr. H. finally got to see Sofie when she wasn't a patient!



Here's Dr. H. holding Sofie the day she was discharged home from the NICU.

And here is Dr. H. reading Sofie a story last week.

Sofie is normally very shy around people she doesn't know and will cling to me.

But she must have remembered Dr. H. just a little bit from way back when, because she wasn't scared to sit next to her for story time (even without Mommy next to her).

It was great to get to visit with Dr. H., but as you might have noticed we were still in a hospital room. Sofie and I were visiting my best friend in the hospital. She is 30 weeks pregnant with twins and has been in the hospital on bedrest for the past 5+ weeks. The babies are having some difficulties, and she will be in the hospital until they arrive, which is hopefully at least until May - they are due in June.

Dr. H. was actually making rounds to check on my friend and her babies - small world, huh? It really puts us all at ease that Dr. H. has been and will continue to be involved in their care. She is wonderful!!

You all offered a lot of positive prayers for Sofie during some really rough times for her, and we know how powerful that was for her. Please take the time right now and in the coming weeks to pray for the twins and for my friend and her husband. I haven't mentioned their names to protect their privacy, but I know they are reading this and will really appreciate your support. Thank you!!
