Our introduction into the amazing world of parenthood... and then our abrupt reality check in the form of a life-threatening congenital heart defect & the successful medical interventions taken at Texas Children's Hospital which taught us to never take a day for granted. This is our story.

I work as a gastroenterologist at the Texas Children's Health Center in The Woodlands. I live nearby and each Thursday I drive down to Texas Children's Hospital where I do my endoscopies. It's where my patients get the best care.
I hear it all the time, 'you must hate to drive downtown.' As it turns out, I love Thursdays at Children's. I look forward to it all week.

Every year in the United States, between 3 and 10 million children witness intimate partner violence between their caregivers. These children really do suffer as a result. I have often played a 911 call during training of a 6-year-old calling for help as her mother is beaten (Warning: This phone call is very disturbing to hear. Listen with caution.). This is not an uncommon response to a traumatic event. The problem is these acute reactions do not always get noticed.
