Connections Count - One Family's Story

Pam & Son

Funny how life is all connected. Three and half years ago I found myself on the receiving end of a very difficult conversation with the neonatalogist at Morton Plant Hospital. She said they would have to transport my newborn son to All Children's Hospital right away. He was only a day old and I was barely recovering from my C-section, so needless to say it was a difficult separation and a very scary time. Me and my very tender belly were discharged early and my husband worked very hard to comfortably transport me down to St. Pete to see my son the next day. Between the emotions, hormones, post-op pain and the coldest fear I've ever felt in my life -- those first few days are a bit of a blur in my memory.
