A small tribute to the doctors

She has around a dozen of them that she sees regularly. Most of them are stellar physicians. And some of them we think are so amazing we'd like them to look after her all her life and have given prayers of thanks that they've been there when Cicily's needed them.
The first one was Dr. W, who along with Drs. F and M arranged the most beneficial way for Cicily to be brought into the world. Dr. W cared for her and our whole family and ensured we were all adequately set up for her life. Then there's Dr. M who at her birth told me that he and the other doctors were praying for us. Dr. M has re-arranged his schedule to help Cicily on 3 occasions. Dr. S was next to come into her life. In our opinion, she is a brilliant and capable surgeon. At the last appointment she told Cicily she looked forward to getting a big hug from her someday. Her pulmonologist and pediatricians have been wonderful to work with as they try to figure out what medications to give her to keep her healthy and non-antibiotic resitant.
It's so amazing to think there are so many people out there - doctors, therapists, nurses, medical assistants, family, friends, strangers - who are looking out for our Cicily and wanting to make her life as great as it can possibly be. It's been my pleasure as her Mom to be able to "share" her with all of them and you.
