God Bless The Staff at KU Med

Everyone has been tremendously supportive throughout this time for Sarah and I. But I want to put the spotlight on the staff of KU Medical Center in this entry.
Everyone has stories to tell of their experiences at hospitals. We would like to let you know of the wonderful people we encountered during Carter's stay.
Several of the nurses in the NICU came up to Carter's visitation and funeral. It means so much to know that our son meant enough to them that they would want to be there. So many times during Carter's stay at KU, the nurses would come over just to see him or talk to us. Even the nurse who was in the operating room during his birth would come over from time to time. Many have given us phone numbers, e-mails etc. Wow! To all of them we say, thank you and God bless you. We received two cards from the staff today loaded with notes and comments from doctors and nurses. They talk of how Carter has touched them. They say how "wonderful" of parents we were. We just loved our boy and wanted to spend every moment we could with him. The nurses and doctors were the ones that worked so hard to bring him back to health. They were the ones who brought him back to life for us if even for a few more hours. Those hours were a gift that we are forever grateful for. Thank you. I want to also say thank you to Doctors Schropp, Raguveer, Clark, "Ola", and Cocjin. We know you worked very hard to make Carter well. I could see in each of your eyes that Carter held a special place with you. I wish I could name all of the nurses but there are so many, I'm afraid I would forget someone. So, again we say thank you. We WILL keep in touch.
