    Thank you very much for recognizing health professionals. They are important all the time, but critical right now.

    The other person in the painting looks like a soldier. Wonder could the time be 1918??

      That would be too early for Penicillin.

    Thanks. We have 4 children, a doctor, two nurses and school administration. I have been sewing face masks as backups for the nurses as their supplies are getting low. They all need our prayers now. Stay safe!

      Louise, your family is definitely on the front lines! Please let them we are grateful for their service!

    It was so interesting to read about the artist but especially about the development of penicillin. Thank you. Stay well and safe. God bless…

    Thank you Lori for this piece of art. This posting hit my heart twice — I have relatives who are nurses and a history of doctors in my family. Doctors in our local hospital were compassionate last summer in my husband’s final days, and went above and beyond to make him at peace and comfortable at the end. And now I worry about them and all of the caregivers in hospitals and emergency services who face terrifying odds in coming months. Bless them all!

    And secondly, I had rheumatic fever as a child, and in the late 40s, was probably a test case for Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh as they battled potential heart damage and numerous attacks of strep throat with massive penicillin treatments over 6 or 7 years. Thanks to the miracle drug penicillin, I was finally able to go off all restrictions and lead a full, active life, have a career, bear two children and live to see not only 8 grandsons and a great-grandson, but most important make hundreds of quilts.

    We should always remember that our infectious disease researchers travel many paths to find solutions, and while some ideas may not work, you won’t know until it DOES work, what the solution is — all by trial and error. We need to give our researchers the resources, time and support they need to find solutions.

    There are no magic bullets to shorten what we need to do to get through this current disease’s impact,but remember that America has overcome typhoid, diphtheria, and polio over time. We can do this. This too, shall pass.

      Wow! What a miracle! You are a miracle and all your children, grand-children are able to share in that story!

      Thank God for great medicine!

    I, too, am a child who survived because of 2 courageous doctors and penicillin. It was truly a miracle drug for many. As a result of all that, I ended up with a 50+ year career in nursing and nurse education.

    I was one of those “early trials of penicillin on people”. My parents loved to tell me the story of how they were about to lose me to pneumonia when I was 6 months old when the doctors asked if they could try a new experimental antibiotic called penicillin. They said it was like a miracle how quickly I got better. This was in April 1941. I had never realized how experimental it was until I read your penicillin story. Thank you Lori for all the educational information you give us!

      Wow! Can you imagine your parents fear and desperation! To think how joyful they must have been! A miracle!

    I was a surviver of a massive bone infection in 1962. The bacteria had already become resistant to penicillin and sulpha did nothing. I was put on massive doses of the “new” wonder drug…synthetic penicillin. I owe my life and for sure my leg, to these people and their pioneering work. I spent 50 years working in medical field trying to pay it forward. I will be forever grateful.

      My goodness! That’s an amazing story! Thank goodness for penicillin! Thank you for sharing your story!

    These stories touched my heart. Thank you, Lori, for this site which allows us to stay in touch with each other. We are a family of quilters and more. We will get through this together.
