For those of you who don't know, I work as a nurse at LDS hospital on the Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplant floor. The worst part about working here is when a patient that has a special place in your heart passes away. I just had a patient pass away yesterday who I just adored. I loved going into his room and just talking with him. He was such an amazing guy. That is also one of the best things about working here. You meet amazing people who have an affect on your life. I am blessed to work here and meet amazing people who better my life in many ways.

- Monica and Stephen
- We were married December 12, 2003 in the Salt Lake Temple. We have two handsome boys and one daughter who are full of energy. They keep us busy, but we can't imagine our life without them.
Kyle LaMar
Kyle was born July 1, 2005 weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19 inches long. He came as a surprise to us because he wasn't due until July 31. My water broke on June 30 at 9:45pm and Kyle greeted us at 9:07am July 1. He is a busy boy and a very smart boy. He knows the alphabet, his numbers in english and spanish, and he can spell and write his name. He is getting so big. It seems like just yesturday he was born. He loves to sing and dance. He always wants to help me in the kitchen or scrapbook or really anything that I am doing. But if Steve is around, he loves to be with his dad. Dad is always number one.
Miles Joseph
Miles was born December 1, 2007 weighing in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 19.5 inches long. He was born with reddish hair, but now it is blond. He is full of personality and it is developing everyday. He is all over the place, climbs on everything, and is into everything. He keeps me busy. He cannot be out of my site for a second or else he is into something he shouldn't be. I can't believe how big he is getting. He loves playing with Kyle and Layla and he will just laugh and giggle at anything Kyle does.
Layla Rae
Layla was born February 16, 2009 weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. She was 3 weeks early and came on her own; there was no doctor there to deliver her but I had some great nurses. She is healthy and happy. Both Kyle and Miles love her and love to play with her. For the most part she enjoys playing with them. She is walking and running all over the place. I can't believe how big she is getting.

Oh Monica--I'm so sorry for the loss. Even though you started this post out as the worst part about your job, you ended up talking about what you love about it--I think that speaks so much about your work and how even though it is tough it still has it's joyous moments.
Miss you! And post some pictures of those kiddie of yours! :)
I am sorry Mony! That is really sad. I am sure he loved having you as a nurse too.
I remember those same feelings. In fact, one of my favorites passed away 6 months or so after I quit working there, and I still cried. It's so hard, and yet it's such an incredible place with some of the most amazing people.
