In Memory

I just found out that my baby doctor passed away from a fight with Lou Gehrig's disease. He was only diagnosed four months ago. What a heartbreaking shock. I loved him. He actually went on vacation to Mexico on my due date. His partner Dr. Wylie delivered Sydney. I was a little upset it wasn't going to be him, but maybe it was good it wasn't. Now I'll be comfortable going to Dr. Wylie with the next one someday. He was an amazing person, so upbeat and encouraging. He'll be missed!
