So faithful...
I could not think of what to put for a title on this post because this man is so many things to us. I thought of a rock but we all know that God is our rock and he has carried Annabel thus far. We all know that God is faithful also, but that is how I describe Dr. Prause. For the very first time in over 3 years he took a break over the weekend and a wonderful doctor filled in. I am glad to see that he took time off for whatever reason. He has always been there for my way too many questions. This man has become very special to Annabel and myself. He has always recognized that Annabel is here for a special purpose. I have never had to convince him that she deserves the same care as other children. He is a very busy man and I know I surely add to his caseload. We know behind every great man is a wonderful woman and he does have a very sweet wife. In this case, I am speaking of his nurse, Shirley. Not only does she take great care and shows such love for Annabel, but has acted also as my counselor. At times I just fall apart. She just puts me in a room as if I am the patient and talks with me. For this I am grateful. Let me not forget all of his office staff. They take all my calls right away, no matter how busy they are. The answer is come right in and she is always taken right back. I owe so much to this doctor and his entire office. Thank you first to God for leading us to this great man and also for this unbelievable office staff.

I also thank God for the dcotrs that were brought into Alex's life. He has taken such good care of us, and led the right doctors our way.
So important to have the wonderful care of loving doctors
God sure is amazing to cover all of the details when life seems to get so overwhelming. These beautiful babies deserve the very best care as they show the rest of us how very fragile life really is and what is important in each day. I am so glad for His goodness for you. Hoping you Home today if all goes well.
Love, Laurie in Ca.
I know exactly what you mean about Dr. Prause, and I loved reading this. He is an amazing man, devoted to "his" kids, and a great doctor. We both know that God knew exactly what He was doing, when He led us to the right pediatricians. He set everything we would need in place before our girls were even born.
