Subject: WTC/Pentagon just hit home

My husband got a call from the FBI yesterday. They were looking for semen or frozen embryos from a couple that dies in the Pentagon crash.
For those of you who do not know, my husband works in reproductive medicine and is an IVF/Andrology lab supervisor (certified).
He checked records and there is nothing from the couple in the lab. But the couple was one of the first patients he worked with after we moved to the Washington DC area and he was the embryologist who did their case. He was the embryologist on during the retrieval as well as the transplanting of embryos. He basicallu created their twin daughters. The whole family was lost in the crash. The MDs do the retrievals and the actual transplants but the taking of the eggs, insemination and getting them set for transplanting is done by the embryologists. Doug is the first "babysitter" an infertile couple will have.

Doug feels a bond with every child he helps a couple conceive and said this was a really nice family.

But since they used a fresh semen sample and there were not enough embryos to freeze some - they have nothing at the lab the FBI could use to help identify the remains.

This has really hit...

Well, I am off in a coupel days to visit the folks while DOug refinished hardwood floors... Scary....
