Yes, that is a lot too. I mean, think of it from an outside perspective. You have Jennifer here who probably feels like she has to do her best. She has to be in all the places at once. She has to be at work because if she's not there, we're going to fail all of these women and their babies.

I called many attorneys. In the state of Texas, statute of limitations for malpractice is two years. Before my son turned two years old, I reamped the efforts to find an attorney. We came across a family friend who did malpractice insurance, and I told him my story. And he said, Kristen, I'll tell you what no one else is going to tell you.

They're not going to take it because one, these people don't carry malpractice insurance. Two, it's very, very hard to sue for malpractice in the state of Texas.

Attorneys are not going to take cases where they're not going to get paid out anything. Me and Markita started meeting whenever we could.
