That’s why Dr. Kraus and Dr. Doyle are such an incredible blessing. They are so caring. You can tell it’s not just a job for them. They are devoted to their patients, and they are my biggest supporters. ... They’ve included us in every decision they’ve made about the boys’ care, and I honestly don’t know what I would do without them.
