Dr. Lea "SUPERSTAR" Fairbanks!
I got to see the doctor who delivered our babies today! She came into my room, we hugged and we chatted for about a half hour! I just had to post this amazing woman's photo so I can share my happiness. She is a woman of great strength, faith and smarts. I tried to tell her everything I've been feeling and really let her know how much I valued and appreciated everything she did. She was very modest about receiving compliments but really focused on the success of the TEAM. I could carry on all day but I'm going to keep it short and sweet...she cried, I cried, we talked about faith, hope, love...everything. It was amazing and I'll never forget her. Then...she ran into my mom in the hallway as my mom was just getting here-Dr. Fairbanks made a point to stop and talk to her! They talked for a while alone which I thought was great. One quick detail about both of our conversations...Dr. made a point to comment on my brother Marcus. She said she noticed him the morning I delivered and was very struck and impressed by him. She said he was the quietest one in the room but what she observed was his amazing smile (which she said I had too, nice) and sparkle in his eye. She shared that she has an 18 year old that just entered the naval academy 6 weeks ago and that seeing young people that just exhibit promise and a bright future is why she does what she does. How sweet and how right she is about Marcus!!!! Marcus told my mom that part of the reason he decided to go to the U of M was because he wanted to be around when his nieces were born and part of their lives as their Uncle. Gosh, a remarkable guy he is. I am so happy that I had this time with Dr. Fairbanks and she told me she was too. How wonderful life is.
