On this visit, we are facing the unknown. Things we've long believed about our child's health have changed. We're having to start over to figure out what is happening. In the midst of a storm of "I don't knows" as we tried to figure out what is happening to him, our nurse, Kaitlin Pavlik, asked something profound. She asked a question from a perspective different than anybody else on the team which sparked a chain of conversation and thought, taking us in brand new directions. She looked beyond our conversations based on the past and asked, "what if?" With one question she opened avenues to be explored and tossed a little hope into that unknown sea. Thank you, Kaitlin. We're so grateful to you and all of your teammates.
