Nicole Draper Quotations

I was holding Nicholas on my lap at the hospital when the call came. It was almost surreal.

We know that the doctors and the staff that have taken care of them really care about them. It's not just a job for them, and that has made all the difference to us.

The day they were born, they immediately started having complications and quickly went downhill.

We were feeling great. These operations are usually a sure thing And we get this fluke.

There's an intimate connection we feel. We're so grateful and in such awe. In their time of difficulty, they gave us a chance. I want them to know that.

It was devastating to me. We just kept hearing so much negative information.

It was terrifying to receive the news that they had done so poorly in that first 24 hours.

He's on his way. We're just so encouraged. Wow. We feel like he has jumped over a major hurdle.

The great, great thing is no tubes or wires. He's unattached.
