Christlike People and a Head Scratch

Kennedi is getting bigger and bigger, and cuter and cuter. Even at 4 months, she only weighs 13 pounds. That is only 3 pounds bigger than Crew was born at. She is such an angel and has the cutest smile. On a side note, there is a story I need to tell you. While Erika and I were in Utah, last week, Kennedi had a very rough night and could not sleep. When morning finally came, Erika and I were both exhausted. We knew that something must be wrong with Kenndi and decided that we needed to take her to the hospital. The only problem was that being in Utah, Kennedi's medicare would not cover her. If you think about it, the whole reason Kennedi is even on Medicare, is because Erika and I are dirt poor students. So a 150 dollar trip to the doctor is no small thing. But after much deliberation and many phone calls to various hospitals and urgent cares, we decided we had to take her in regardless of the cost ($100 - $150 as quoted by several places we called). Well we ultimately decided to go to my sisters doctor since he was a pediatrician and it wouldn't cost any more than the urgent care. Well it turned out that Kennedi had an ear infection. At the end of her appointment, the doctor looked at us and said "I have decided that I will not charge you for this visit. Sitting here talking to you it just doesn't feel right to charge you." It was a very touching gesture, and very unexpected. Erika even broke out into tears in the waiting room after. Right before the doctor said this we had been discussing books and which ones were our favorites. I had mentioned that Les Miserable was one of my favorite books. The doctor replied that is was one of his as well, and one that he reads every year. His gesture of kindness reminded me of the unexpected act of mercy and kindness the bishop in Les Miserable did for Jean Valjean. This kind act has reminded me that there are still Christlike people out there in the world, and Doctor Winn is one of them. Thank you doctor Winn.
On a different note, today as I was putting Crew down for his nap, I started scratching his head. He seemed to really like it. He would close his eyes occasionally only to reopen them and stare at me. When I stopped, Crew reached over and started to scratch my head. We both looked at each other, and Crew smiled. A moment latter he was asleep and snoring. What a precious moment.
