When I was working at St.Mark's in Salt Lake I took care of a girl that was pregnant with twins. She had to be in the hospital for about two months on bed rest because they kept trying to come too early. I took care of her almost every time that I worked and really grew to love her and her family. The last night I worked she went into labor and we couldn't stop her. She delivered her twins at about 27 weeks along! I will never forget it. They were each only about two pounds! I have always wondered how they were doing and if everything turned out okay. Last week she somehow tracked me down and called me. She wanted to give me some baby cloths that she wasn't able to use. So I got to meet up with her and see the twins. One of them just barely got out of the hospital. They are each around 9 pounds now and finally doing well. That was such a rewarding experience for me and I was so grateful for it. I don't usually get to follow up with my patients. She has been through so much with her twins and I look up to her. What an amazing woman!
