It has been a year this week that a doctor at the University of Chicago told us that we would never have children. As devastating as that news was, we didn’t give up. And as luck would have it, God placed into our lives a doctor by the name of Sherman Silber. From the very first day we contacted your office, your staff gave us hope! Something we didn’t have much of in the past.
The journey was long and emotional, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. We are just very happy that the outcome is two wonderful children that we know in our hearts are truly miracles – special gifts from God.
Dr. Silber, I am not sure if you will ever know how much of an impact your work has on the people you serve. But I can tell you this, Gregg and I have not stopped smiling and thanking God since we found out that we were pregnant. You helped give us the best gifts we will ever receive – two children to love and call our own.
Please know that the work you do and the people you help will always be in our prayers. You are a remarkable doctor! Not a day goes by that we don’t thank our lucky stars that our paths crossed and we were able to benefit from your tremendous knowledge.
We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of the Kaput twins. So far so good!
UPDATE
The Kaput twins are almost 5 months old. It is amazing what they are able to do already. Each day they learn to do something new. Makenzie is a mover. I come out of the washroom and she rolled and scooted across the room and is under the couch – I guess she wants to play hide and seek. Tyler is our more studious one. He looks at each page of a book that I read to him and loves to stare at his flashcards.
Everywhere we go the twins seem to be a main attraction. People love to stop and look at them. Strangers can’t believe how much Tyler looks like his daddy!
We would like to bring the twins down to visit and meet Dr. Silber, the man who made all of this possible!
Infertile patients cannot afford to wait for treatment while their eggs get older.
Dr. Sherman Silber, Infertility Center of St. Louis, is offering video consultations for patients who need to plan now for their treatment while stay-at-home orders are in place. He is talking to and evaluating patients in their home to comply with social distancing measures.
Dr. Silber is discovering that patients actually prefer this method of telemedicine consultation over the conventional office visit. Patients have conveyed that “it is so much more convenient and less stressful” to have a telemedicine personal consultation than to take a day off from work to travel to the doctor’s office and sit with other nervous patients in the waiting room.
The COVID-19 pandemic is thus changing much of the way we will do things in the future, and for the better. “Our patients are surprisingly much happier with this approach. Of course, at some point we need to perform hands on treatment. But with this new manner of seeing patients, we can come to the right diagnosis and treatment plan for most patients more efficiently, quickly, and painlessly, with no loss of personal one-on-one communication.” This is a very welcome new era of telemedicine that has been forced on us by the current difficult times.
