Dr. Carol and Madison Uebelacker’s Story
 |
 |
I was 53, a solo Family Practice physician with 2 grown sons and grandchildren. Thanks to the University of Wisconsin Medical School, I had started med school at age 35 and never looked back --- except when it came time to choose a name for a 20 pound, very ill, 3 year old little girl who would become the light of my life...Madison! That's right; she was named for the capitol of Wisconsin and the University that helped me long ago. This tiny little girl was born in China with a serious heart defect that was threatening her life. So in 2003, I needed a little girl and she needed a mom...and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin must have needed another miracle.
She was to spend 2 weeks in the hospital on a "rocky" course…not Madison! On day 2 she pulled out ALL the tubes…we went home on day 3...and the rest is history!
Nothing stops this little steamroller, as those who may have met her at the Miss Wisconsin’s Outstanding Teen and Miss Wisconsin Pageants know. She is a hard-worker in all she tries. Her teachers consistently use the same words to describe her: "A joy to have in the classroom". Her best effort is the only effort she knows how to exert. She smiles and skips wherever she goes…and now that she has discovered the stage...well...her smile is as big as the sun and stars!
I am forever grateful to my home Wisconsin for giving me the opportunity to give HER the opportunities she so much deserves. Forward, Madison!
