Three years ago, after seven miscarriages-each six months apart-Roxi was ready to have another baby. Understandably devastated, she worked hard to keep the hope going; Roxi and her husband, Monte, weren't about to give up. They tried specialists and hospitals in Madison but to no avail. Roxi was tired of hearing all the negatives: chances aren't great, and don't count on any miracles.

But hope was right around the corner. After miscarriage number seven, she went to Sauk Prairie Memorial for the D&C and met Dr. Todd Schad, the attending physician at the time. Roxi found him to be very personable and upbeat.

In addition, he was recommended by Maribeth Baker, M.D., Roxi's family physician. One of her special interests is obstetrics. Roxi says, "She's really knowledgeable. Because of all the difficulties I was having, she suggested Schad, so I wanted to give him a try.

"When I met with him to discuss having another baby, Dr. Schad was so positive-there was so much hope. He believed I could have another child and was determined to do anything he could to help us."

Understandably, this mom was nervous for quite a while when she became pregnant again. But Dr. Schad knew what to do. He prescribed a medication none of Roxi's other doctors had, including all the specialists from Madison. It worked.

Little Brianna came along seven years after her handsome older brother, Cameron. Today, these two delightful children are happy and healthy. Roxi says, "I had such a good experience when Cameron was born at Sauk Prairie, and I knew that the hospital had a good national reputation. I was glad to go back for Brianna, especially after Dr. Schad arrived. He was obviously very well-versed in the latest techniques-I trusted him.
