I could never be a nurse or a doctor because quite frankly people annoy me. However, I’m always overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity that come from people who serve in these jobs. Well, at least the good ones. Max’s pediatricians this past week and weekend were glorious. They were never curt, short, bad-tempered or treated us like idiots or annoyances that had to be tolerated. They did everything they could to keep us informed including calling us from home and well into the evening. Max’s nurses were sweet and tender and did everything they could to calm and reassure Max. Even the lab guy, who strolled in at 5:00 AM to take blood, looked at Max and I with sympathy and compassion.

So what do you give to somebody who quite possibly saved your child’s life? A watch? A car? A lifetime of indentured service? I decided on lemon cookies. I found this simple and easy recipe on My Baking Addiction and I think she might have gotten it from Kraft Kitchens. I don’t know, but I baked these babies up with Lucy and they turned out great. Plus, they packaged pretty. I’m thinking these might be fun for Easter this year too.
