There are many, many sad stories here in the pediatric ICU. It is filled with everyday people who are facing extraordinary challenges in their lives.
We have made friends with a couple whose two-year-old son has brain cancer and another whose two-year-old has epilepsy and underwent a similar surgery to Josh. We made friends with another family whose five-year old has tuberous sclerosis and another whose son is severely disfigured and required extensive plastic surgery on his face.
I don't want to get all preachy, but, if you have children, give them a hug, tell them you love them, and then thank God for your blessings.

Preach away Jerry. We constantly take for granted what we have, no matter how hard we try. I will be giving D, B, J and K a bigger hug today. Cheers for the surgery being done and having gone uneventfully! Love, love, love to you all.
