I see calm on the horizon now!<BR/><BR/>I agree with all the above comments, this was so very moving. You've captured with horrifying clarity the nightmare of having a gravely sick child.

I guess I'm a softie after all (shhhh, I know it's obvious, you don't have to rub it in). I know this story is harsh, but I'm trying to give the gift of emphathy to people who really endured this disease.<BR/><BR/>Hoodie, thanks, my friend. Certainly the most action-packed and visceral of the lot.<BR/><BR/>Anne, maybe I can weave in some funky old medical equipment. You know how I love that stuff!

But the respite is uneasy, and won't last long. <BR/><BR/>While reading this, I have a very childish desire to plead that it's not fair. No person--and children especially--should have to suffer so.
