I got a phone call from a hospital representative today. She believes that they now know the identity of the nurse who worked so hard to provide us with Talitha's footprints. Sadly, she passed away several years ago. The representative also told me that getting the handprints/footprints is something that would have been very true to this nurse's nature, as she had a reputation for being a very loving, caring, and sympathetic nurse.
If nothing else, maybe my story will 1) bring awareness to anencephaly, as well as to the option and blessings of carrying to term, 2) provide some comfort to grieving mothers, and 3) let nurses know how much the little things they do are appreciated and remembered.
I hope that's what it does, anyway.
