Forever Sheltered (28 page)
Acknowledgements
Many experts, nurses, EMTs, and hospital personnel were instrumental in helping me understand the world of Dr. Darion. I could not have done this book without them
: Khristie Beaird, Lynn Kennedy, Missy Givens-Norris, Karen Greenberg, and Jon Korfmacher
.
My beta readers helped me make sure I kept a good balance between the series stories and Tina and Darion:
Missy, Jammie, Lindsey, Amy, Maria, and Lisa.
Thank you!
Big thanks to author friends
Mimi Strong
and
Julia Kent
for all the things you know you do! You get it!
I am grateful to all the mothers who placed their children’s stories on Caring Bridge. You put up the most succinct details of blood tests and treatments. This was so helpful, and I cried many days and nights over the pain and trials your families suffered.
And to all you fans out there – you enable me to live the life I love ~
thank you.
