Carley's Heroes



Thank you...


James Downard, MD

Your excellent care during my pregnancy and compassion during my loss was unparalleled.  I thank you for your expertise and true concern for us.

Timothy Leeds, MD

In a short time, you have made such an impact on my life.  I appreciate how you treated me like you would one of your own patients... or friends.  Thank you for treating my daughter with the same respect and gentleness that you would a live child.  Thank you for ensuring that Carley entered this world with dignity.  

Jeffrey Drawbond, MD

Without you, I know Carley's delivery would have been so much more painful.  Thank you for taking away the only pain that could be removed...

Glenda, Sarah, Shawna, Julie, & Joline and MGMC Birthways Staff

My sister-in-law told me just recently how, when she was a medical student, she would get so exasperated with the OB nurses because they were so protective of their patients.  She told me that she now sees exactly why OB nurses are this way.  How can I ever repay you for the wonderful care you gave me?  Thank you for being sensitive to my needs, for comforting my husband, our patents, and our friends.  Thank you for being so good at what you do, and for showing us that we are not alone in our sorrow.

Jeri Ann, Darla, and the staff at McFarland OB

Thank you for caring for me during my pregnancy - not just medically, but emotionally.  Thank you for being concerned about me, for taking my concerns seriously and easing my fears, for commiserating with me when I complained about my aches and pains, laughing with me when I shared my latest "funny story".  Thank you for truly being interested in the progress of Carley's growth.

Jan Murdock

It gave me such joy to get to see Carley tumbling and squirming inside me.  Thank you for taking the time to give me pictures of my happy, active girl.  You gave me my only actual pictures of her life.  Your sonographs are my cherished prizes, and your friendship a true gift.

Dee Matthews

It took my mother several weeks to get the courage to ask how I got from the clinic to the hospital.  Her fears that I was alone consumed her.  Thank you for being my temporary mom... for staying with me and comforting me in the early hours of my loss.  Thank you for your friendship, and for always remembering to ask about Carley.  You are a wonderful friend, and an excellent mother.

And...

Pastor Wendy Miles

for more or less everything under the sun

Note: In Carley's Story, you will read very little about Wendy.  This story was an account of the three days at MGMC from my perspective, and although she ministered to me several times during those days, she spent much of her time doing things I never saw.
