It\u2019s important to preserve the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The caps are the epitome of personal, presented at the end of the most personal of experiences. They\u2019re made by Baer\u2019s wife Carol who crochets each as a gift from one Colorado family to another. So far, Carol Baer has made 1,000 hats since beginning the tradition three years ago as a replacement for the t-shirts John Baer used to give away to his patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe gets all the credit,\u201d John Baer said. \u201cThis was her (Carol\u2019s) idea.

The biggest binder he\u2019s able to find \u2013 more than four inches thick \u2013 holds notes about 8,400 patients and their children.
