First, the good news: I'm an uncle! My little sister gave birth to a 19", 7#1oz baby girl, named Camryn Jade, yesterday (Jan 2).

Now the not-so-good news: Camryn has a viral infection which could result in brain damage. There is little the doctors can do; she with her brand-new immune system basically has to fight it off by herself.

But not without the prayers, good wishes, positive thoughts, lighted candles, and so forth of my Mudcat "family."

Please join me in wishing/praying/etc. a speedy recovery and no lasting effects for Camryn Jade.

Thanks everybody in advance!

Alex
