I talked to Angela (heart mom) today and she told me that she was notified that Dr. Hawkins (the surgeon who did all of her son's surgeries) has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has three months to live. This is the man who for years was the only person who could perform the life saving surgeries that our babies have needed. He has retired effective immediately from clinical duties. Angela and I are trying to call together anyone who has been touched by Dr. Hawkins to please get a hold of me and let me know if you can send me some pictures or letters that we can compile together and give to him in thanks for all that he has done for all of our families. This is truly devastating to all of our heart families, so anyone who has something for him just post your info and I will get a hold of you.

Staci, I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Hawkins. My Aunt Tamra just passed away in Feb.from Pancreatic cancer. It's a horrible illness. I don't know Dr. Hawkins personally, but I do know that I thank our Father in Heaven daily for the wonderful Doctors and nurses that have helped to keep our sweet Bridger, and so many other babies alive. I wish there was something more I could do. Would you please express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Hawkins from Bridger's Nana and Papa? Those Doctors are our hero's.We love them, and we pray that our Father in Heaven's comfort will be with him, and his family. Love you guys!!! Cristy
