Inspiring medical care

"My son, Caleb, had his first seizure at 20 months. Over time his seizures have continued to worsen, and in August 2015, Caleb was diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome — a severe drug resistant form of epilepsy. Caleb is now 9 years old, but functions on a 2-year-old level. We have been blessed to work with Dr. Colin Van Orman at Primary's since Caleb's first visit in the winter of 2008.
"Caleb has a younger brother who loves to come to his appointments. Because of his experiences and watching how gentle everyone is with his brother (especially when he gets shots or has blood drawn), he wants to be a "poke Dr." when he grows up! We love Primary Children's Hospital!!"
Honesty is the best policy

"I recently lost my iPad on a trip to Idaho (I live in Utah). I thought I knew where I left it (Joe’s, a restaurant in Blackfoot), but several calls to the manager later, and there still was no sign. I really thought it was gone forever. But I logged on to Facebook this morning and saw this:
"Turns out, a kind gentleman who works at the restaurant had picked up my iPad and locked it up for safe keeping. The battery died, so he charged it hoping to somehow figure out who it belongs to. I have a lock screen on my iPad, so he wasn’t able to get into my e-mail or find other ways to contact me. Luckily, my notifications from Facebook were still showing on the lock screen. The clever guy saw that the notifications were from a homesteading Facebook group I belong to, Utah Backyard Homesteading. He tried to join the group, but was denied. He ended up messaging a gal from the group and asked her to post my lost iPad on the page. Here is the rest of the story:
"After getting together via PM with the finder and the gal who posted on the page, my iPad is now on its way safely back to me. Not only was the gentleman who found my iPad both honest and determined to get it back to me, he wanted nothing in return."
