\f0\fs24 \cf0 Honestly I feel like a mere schlepper compared to her with the things
that she does and runs a household and essentially raises three young women and the fact that
they've all done so well I think is really a testimony to her. This program that we started
is the first in the nation and it's really exciting. So a lot of our job is communication
with the primary care provider. They do a lot of the follow up, working with the community,
and primarily working with the families. We take the families from where they are with
looking at these babies that have been so sick, getting them to know their children
and how to care for them, and how to optimize their development. I'm doing what I absolutely
love. I get to go to work, see babies and toddlers, help families- how great is that.
I mean it's just, you take children that can have a lot of difficulties in their life and
help mitigate that and help them. I get to do exactly what I want to do. Laurel, congratulations
on your award. I'm very proud of you. You couldn't be a better person, wife, and mother
and physician. Congratulations. }
