I am also a survivor. I am a labor and delivery nurse and photographer so when I saw your maternity photos I had to check out your blog! While going through the birth story I thought I recognized the room you were in, it's UCSD! That's where I work! Then I saw the picture of you and Elise without your wig or head wrap on and I remembered you! I only saw you for a short time after delivery. I think I may have been the charge nurse that night and went in to help with a couple of things, so was only in there for a minute. It's such a small world! It's so nice to see that you are now in remition and that Elise is doing great :) P.S. Eva is a WONDERFUL nurse!!!Kayla L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281162615533345144.post-50758973795318448052013-06-22T09:52:07.090-07:002013-06-22T09:52:07.090-07:00What a miracle. :) So happy for you guys and pra...What a miracle. :) So happy for you guys and praying daily. xoxoLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140609997419577224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281162615533345144.post-5573627034923649772013-06-14T16:23:23.777-07:002013-06-14T16:23:23.777-07:00I happened to hear that you were pregnant and oh b...I happened to hear that you were pregnant and oh by the way, also have breast cancer a few months ago and have been consistently thinking good thoughts for you.
