"Thank you for sharing. I am simply dumbfounded. There are times I forget I work for a company that actually makes a difference and it doesn't just come down to how much margin we receive on machine x vs y. It is quite brave what you and your family volunteered to do and I have the greatest respect for you for doing that. I wish you and your family all the best and am honored that you thought of me to share that with. There is no better motivation to work for Philips than to see a story like yours. I look forward to sharing with others and Alexis will stay in our thoughts and prayers."
"THAT was Beautiful. absolutely well done and well said, thank you for sharing !!"
"That was AMAZING. Makes me want to go out an buy Philips' stock. What a great company... and it was nice that you guys offered to help them in this way, making for a great two-way relationship with your employer. Good luck with Alexis... I hope that eye is healing well. Craig"
"Thank you so much for sharing this. This makes other things seem so inconsequential when seeing what a difference our products make. Alexis is absolutely adorable and I hope I can meet her some day."
"OMG… thank you so much for sharing… I’m almost in tears I loved it so much. I am so, so thankful you have moved to Philips and can’t even imagine how much this impacts your life…"
"and I can say "I knew them when....." Quite the family of celebrities! Can't wait to get my next "Alexis fix"!"
"just finished watching the video. You guys are awesome!"
"Thanks for sharing the video! Your passion and love are a big asset to Philips and our Community. See you soon!"
"Beautiful, tears in my eyes!!! You already made a difference in Aliexis' life, and I know you working for Phillips will make a difference in other Children's lives including my Ava's . Thank YOU!
"
Wow, great story! It must be great to get to do something you love each day."
"
Nice to hear from you! Thanks for sharing this movie. It’s a great way to start the day. Alexis is a special little girl. I love to see her laugh! Watching this movie is a reminder to me to put things in perspective.
"
"Thank you sharing for the beautiful movie on Alexis and you at Children's."
Thanks for sharing that video. I hope everything works out for you. I too have always been interested in medical electronics because my father had many medical issues while I was growing up. It makes a difference when the job you are doing is something you are passionate about."
"
Very touching video. I actually saw it yesterday with Olga. I think you had a link to it on your facebook page. Anyway, I hope Alexis is doing well after the surgery. She does look very happy and super playfull. Sounds like you really like your new job too."
"what a satisfying experience for you to now be working for the company that makes those things to help your daughter, and others who have physical struggles..."
"Nice to see the devotion of both her parents in her journey... what a journey for you two…"
"
Wow, that really blew me away! I'm glad that you've found your place at Philips and that Alexis is happy.
"
"OMG, this is such a powerful video, I found myself crying watching, it really touched me. Alexis is so beautiful and happy and blessed to have you both as parents. She has been through so much in her short life as have you both. You are a great spokesperson for her. How wonderful that you have found this company to work for that helps you give back. You are all truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your story with us."
"
What a wonderful and amazing story! I am filled with emotion and pride to know your family……. The video I just watched has left me in awe of your little girl, Alexis! As parents, you and Matt are the example of what parenting should be in every household. I enjoyed this so much and it has lifted my spirits on a gray, dreary day. I am filled with joy and I have my ‘Alexis fix!’ The filming of your story is exquisite…. I will watch it over and over and I will share this with my entire family and friends!"
"
Thank you so much for sending me the video. It was really great to see. Alexis is beautiful!!! Hard to believe she is now 3 years old. I really think it is awesome that you went to work for Philips. I really understand how feeling apart of something that helps protect your child would make you feel like your were trully accomplishing something that matters."
"
I watched the video last night when I saw the posting on facebook. Very nice. Alexis is amazing with how happy she is with all that is going on. She doesn’t seem phased by anything."
"
So awesome. thanks for sending to us. I'm a firm beliver in documenting stuff like this. I'll need to watch it again after I finish rounding today."
"
I watched your video last night, Alexis is amazing! You and Matt are terrific! I can see why you joined Philips, what a match. We miss your sunshine and spunk!
"
"Hi Catherine – thanks for keeping me informed and updated on Alexis and all of you. I am sending your movie clip to the boys. Things sound like they are really going well for you all and as always, you are pretty busy and on the move – don’t know how you do it."
"
Second, I wanted to tell you how touched I was by the video of Alexis. She, and you, are such an inspiration. I work in Pharma R&D and like to know that in some small way, the work I am doing is impacting people's lives. Clearly the work you are doing is impacting at a much more direct level! Thank you for continuing to make a difference in the lives of all these special children!"
"
I am so glad you made the move to Philips-I know you miss the people here but you are definitely in the right company."
"Thanks for checking in and sharing the video. I am so happy to hear that you are doing well and are so excited to be connected to and believe in the company you work for. I hope Alexis has recovered well from her eye surgery.
"
"Absolutely awesome and so touching and how fortunate for Alexis to have you and Matt as parents making it better for her and for other little ones!! Bravo!
"
"The video was great (made me cry which is a good thing to be touched by it ). Alexis is lucky to have such wonderful parents. You look great and it was nice to see your husband."
"
I always enjoy hearing from you because you are always positive and I sincerely mean that."
"What a good video, Catherine. We all watched it this morning. Alexis is an adorable little girl, and you are such great parents. Take care!"
"Oh Catherine. Alexis' video was awsome. I thought I was going to start crying. I work in early intervention on the local level and if it is ok I would like to share her video with my coworkers. Looks like you are all doing well."
"This was the most wonderful clip I’ve ever seen – My body still has goose bumps on it.
"
"What a wonderful video! I confess that it provoked a couple of tears. : ) Alexis seems so energetic and sweet! I hope you all are doing well and you're enjoying your relatively new job."
"
I would be lying if I said that video didn't bring a tear to my eye. They did a really nice job both showcasing the star of the show, Alexis (w/co-star mom & supporting actor dad) as well as show Philips @ work."
"
WOW...you just made me cry! VERY awesome video! Great marketing tool for Philips, but even more...it is a tremendous video for your family in the years to come. Beautiful, heartfelt and just great. Thanks so much for sharting. I loved it.
Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful thing to share! Alexis is amazing.
"
"Thanks for reaching out and sharing with us what’s going on with you, Alexis and Matt; your video is very touching yet encouraging, I took the liberty of sharing it with a couple of co-workers in a meeting yesterday and my family last night; I just wanted to share with all of them how exceptional you and your family truly are, your persistence and dedication in the face of adversity, and the fact you are now working for Philips makes it all come together.
I have always been very proud to be part of the Philips Family and you have indeed highlighted my reasons to do the best job I can. Alexis has filled my heart with joy and placed a Hugh smile on my face! Catherine, you and Matt are larger than life!"
"I was really touched by it. I guess, the 'Alexis Fix' spilled over throughout Europe as well."
