I remember being that scared dad sitting alone in a hospital room because my wife had just given birth and was on the other side of the hospital recovering in her own room.

Within a few hours, the ambulance arrived from Kansas City to transport Brody up to Children’s Mercy.  I was sitting with him when the EMT’s arrived and reluctantly handed him over so they could put him in his new spaceship of a bed to transport him in the ambulance. ”
