Kendra Walker is a patient who came in for help getting pregnant after losing her first child.
History[]
Kendra and her husband, Dave, came in to see Naomi because they wanted to have a baby. Because Kendra had lupus, they planned to use a surrogate to carry their embryo. They'd used a surrogate before and told Naomi they'd lost their son, Max, when he was five months old.
When Naomi talked to Addison about their case, Addison revealed that she'd been in the ER when their son came in. He'd suffocated because Dave left him in the car.
Naomi asked the Walkers to sit down with Sheldon. He asked about why they didn't tell Naomi about Max and their grief process. Dave replayed the day. He'd taken the baby to day care, which was normally Kendra's job. He went to work like he normally did and forgot that his son was in the backseat. While he was sitting at work, his screen saver popped up, his son's face, and he remembered. He ran out to the car, but it was too late. Sheldon asked Kendra about her feelings. She said she didn't hate her husband, but she did feel numb. She needed to try to start over. Despite the situation, Sheldon cleared them to use a surrogate.
Because their surrogate had uterine scarring, they needed Addison to operate on her in order to allow her to carry a baby. Kendra came to Addison and said that she remembered Addison from the ER and said for a long time, she couldn't look at her husband and then she couldn't look at herself. She also said that her husband was the only person who understood how people look at you after you've lost a child the way they did. She promised that if Addison gave them their second chance, they'd never make the same mistake again.
After that talk, Addison agreed to do the surgery so they could have their baby.
