Shout out to the Pharmacy Department for their support of the girls during their stay, especially on surgery day.

Special thanks to NICU Pharmacy Specialist Dr. Kimberly Tobin, PharmD and NICU Pharmacist Dr. Jacob Hall, PharmD for researching and creating unique medication dosing strategies in preparation for anesthesia medications for pain/sedation, antibiotics, emergency code medications, etc.
Special shout out the OR Pharmacy team of pharmacist and technicians for carefully reviewing, preparing and distributing many of the critical medication needed to help make surgery go smoothly and be a major success.

I can't stop crying tears of joy and gratitude for your expertise, your willingness to lay your egos aside, your unbelievable collaboration, your ability to use your specialized skills without a playbook and your desire to help these two precious girls in a highly risky situation. My heart is overflowing knowing that I get to come to work every day at Jewel Charity benefiting Cook Children's and hopefully raise a little bit of money that will help our patients. Today I am thanking and praising God for each of you! -Jennifer
