An event put on by Stanford Hospital to celebrate their part in their patients' victories over life-threatening injuries. What a great idea to allow former patients and their families to meet the people behind the roles that were so crucial in giving us our lives back. 

From Heather the amazing nurse who suggested we get an Ipod so  our daughter didn't have to hear all of the incessant beeping of various machines in ICU ,to the nurse who allowed us to stay by her bed way past visiting hours, to the doctors who knew how to re-grow tissue on her damaged knee it was one miracle after another.  And now. less than one year later it hardly seems real. 

So we will celebrate the victories and the skill and mostly the extraordinary talent and caring of the Trauma Center at Stanford Hospital and will give thanks that we are able to be part of an event like this.

Wow. How cool. Does Stanford do this for everyone? How does it work? Amazing that it was a almost a year ago.

What a great event to have! I am a Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor, and can relate to these people, since I am one of 5% who survive. I read about it in the Palo Alto Daily News today (5/19/08). My life changing event took place in Lake Tahoe, but I have been living here in Redwood City now for about 10 years. I feel I would like to meet other "Survivors" of "miracles".
