Joe, I'm with CET on this one, as a fellow "newbie." I'm very positively impressed by the supportive atmosphere here, and by the way in which any "nastiness" is handled by most responders. Time will tell whether any problems encountered in the past will escalate again, or whether 'catters have learned from history.

In the meantime, I'm sending westward all good thoughts and hopes for steadiness of the surgeons' hands and for strength for the baby's body and the family's spirit.
