Pat, I don't know y'all as so many others do (though I certainly know you by your posts), but I've got to second Naemanson's note above. We almost lost Vaughn after she gave birth to Nathaniel (23 yrs. ago). Now the day their godmother smuggled the boys into the ICU to see her is treasured family folklore. The fears, the tedium and the wall-to-wall frustrations do pass. And the caring does remain.

May it be so for all of you. -George ::-.--O
