On March 9, 2008, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Douglas Wilson in person. I met his daddy at the doors of the NICU, and he informed me that Doug was out of the incubator (his little condo) - talk about perfect timing!! I scrubbed in; Mike masked me; and we were off! I found Doug resting with his mom, lying on her chest. I immediately said hello (I thought I'd actually say a proper hello and save the ebonics talk for later). He opened his eyes as widely as possible and stared at me as if to say hello back!!! It was pretty amazing. Later, Andi Grace came in too and made a remark about his little hands and fingers. Doug promptly responded with a peace sign. It was really remarkable - as if he understood us and maybe thought he would show off a little. What a wonderful day - the first time I got to meet Doug Wilson! I can't wait to spend more time with this charming little lad!
