Today I'm thankful for...
Having a wonderful team of humanitarians to care for Lourdes in the hospital
Great people to work daily with at Dentistry for Kids
God looking out for Lulu during her surgery and the recovery period
A strong wife
Today we made a return to where the crazy events of the last 6 months started, St. Mary's hospital. Lulu, Dr. Zeff, our boys, Lourdes, and I arrived at the hospital at 5:30 with gifts to thank the staff for getting us through these difficult times. We had came with Pumpkin pies, brownies, Oral-B power brushes (for after they eat all the sweets), and Lourdes' birth announcements. Since leaving the hospital on August 23rd, we haven't been back to visit until tonight. It was nice to acknowledge the people that took care of our little girl and give her a chance to live a long, healthy life. We are indebted to these super care givers, and wanted them to see the love of our life as a 12 pound healthy little girl.
When we arrived in the NICU unit we were told that they haven't been that busy lately, so many of the nurses that cared for Lourdes weren't there this evening. We got to catch up with a few of the nurses and share Lourdes with them for a while, and leave the goodies for them all to enjoy. It really felt good seeing these gals, and even better giving them a glimpse of want their efforts have helped Lourdes become. I can't tell you how much these wonderful people have touched our lives and helped Lourdes (and us) get through those first 3 months of her life. This wasn't even close to being able to pay back every one's efforts for Lourdes' care, but it's the only thing we knew to do to try to show our appreciation.
