Karen received this thank you note from a grateful patient:

"I wanted to thank you so much for your help with breast feeding. About six weeks ago I contacted the hospital in tears because my milk supply was low. You had gone home for the evening but the nurse who answered the phone said you would not mind calling me. A few minutes later you returned my call. I detailed my problems to you and you offered many helpful suggestions. Before I spoke to you, I felt certain that I was going to be forced to stop breast feeding. My milk supply was not enough to provide for my hungry growing baby and I was absolutely devastated. However, after speaking to you I was greatly encouraged and I had a plan of action. I continued to use a breast pump regularly and I also used the More Milk Plus tablets you recommended. As of this week, I now have enough milk that I no longer have to supplement my baby with formula. In fact, I actually have had a little "extra" to store away in the freezer. Because of your help I feel like a better mother and I know my daughter is getting the best possible nutrition. Thank you so much for the help you have provided for me and so many other women in our community. You truly make a positive impact on the lives of others."
