How We Met

They say that every cloud has a silver lining. This was definitely the case when Eric's daughter, Alexandra, was experiencing some wheezing and got admitted to the hospital in Wichita Falls with pneumonia. Concerned for his daughter, Eric never left the hospital the entire 4 days that Alex spent there. Thankfully, Alex quickly recovered from her bout with pneumonia. The entire staff at the hospital was very friendly and did an exceptional job taking care of Alex. This included a beautiful nurse named Lee Ann.

Lee Ann and the respiratory nurse, learning that Alex was spending her birthday in the hospital, went out and bought a cake and gifts for Alex to open from her hospital bed. Just because she couldn't leave the hospital didn't mean she couldn't celebrate her birthday. It was just one of many actions that showed Eric how sweet and caring Lee Ann is.

Lee Ann had noticed Eric the moment he walked into the pediatric department that afternoon. She had learned that they were receiving a patient from the Emergency Room, namely Eric's daughter Alex. At first sight she was excited to see this handsome man walk in, but then she had the realization that he was the father, but was relieved to learn that he was single. Despite having a full load of patients, Lee Ann fought to be Alex's nurse that day.

Over the course of the next couple of days, Eric and Lee Ann talked, initially about Alex, but over time it expanded to other aspects of their lives. They got to know each other better, and quickly realized that they had spent literally hours talking. The connection between the two of them was immediate and strong. It was the beginning of something neither one of them had ever experienced before, love-at-first-sight.
