A Special Thank You

Words cannot express what I feel for my doctors and nurses that I had while in the hospital and for follow-up care.  Let's be blunt here... I could have had my seizures at home.  And I would have been home ALONE!

My doctor has been caring for pregnant women for years; delivering thousand of babies.  He had a feeling about me.  An instinct.  An intuition.  And he followed it.  Things seemed to be getting better but he just kept saying to me, "I just don't feel right about letting you go home."  Trusting and following that intuition saved me... it saved Gray.

HOW DO YOU THANK SOMEONE FOR THAT?

My best attempt, to get anywhere close to how I feel, goes something like this...

"I'm not quite sure how to thank you all for saving my life and my son's life.  The words thank you just don't seem like enough.  But thank you!  You're the best doctors and nurses I could have asked for.  Thank you for following your intuitions, your swift actions, your amazing care, kindness, and love.  I promise to always work hard and fight for my family because you did.  You all will always have a special place in my heart and in our family.  Thank you!"
