Our daughter was born overseas in the Azores. The hospital had to turn on the lights and open the maternity ward just for us. Our daughter had complications and received personal attention. They called the OB/GYN out of the base theater a couple of blocks away. And the Pediatrician stayed for days working with our daughter. It was amazing to watch Dr. Key putting an IV in her scalp with tears in his eyes. A few days later there were two other mothers on the ward.
