Default Hooray for Buffalo Childrens'!

Where our niece was born only 21 weeks old. She amazingly became stable and finally went home three months later. At age two she developed pneumonia and spent weeks in the Childrens' ICU. Her second day there she had a stroke and had to be placed in an induced coma to restore lung and other functions. All in a days work for those folks.

After recovering and rehab, she is four now, and other than being somewhat small for her age, is totally normal. She may have problems later, but she has been given a wonderful chance at life. We all know she will survive and probably contribute as much as her parents; two doctors who direct different sections of a Veterans Hospital.

And, for a change, let's hear it for US healthcare!
