Seeking Denver General Staff from July 1991
I’m getting older, and I have always wanted to thank the people who saved mine and my baby’s life after a car accident, on June 30 of 1991. My son was born on the 4th of July, 1991 while I was 17 and in the ICU. I was on a ventilator, and the Respiratory Therapist had to hand bag me for almost an hour. I don’t remember much, but my R.N. mom was there, and she was my memory from that time, but she’s gone now. We’re from Alaska, and there just happened to be an (I believe) Asian, male Resident there, who had been a Medical Student in our tiny hometown (God is so good!)!! Unfortunately, I don’t remember any names, but I remember the human connections I felt from not feeling like just another patient. I felt they actually cared that we survive and thrive. Plus, I know some O.B. nurses must have gotten attached to my preemie son, since he spent the first month of his life in the NICU. He’s 6’3” now, and is such a sweetheart. Please help me find these people, internet! I suspect my mind won’t be sharp for much longer, as the effects of the TBI seem to be getting worse, or I’m just getting old!
