My last son, now 6'4" and best man at his brother's wedding this past Friday - check my blog at:<br />http://rnsane.blogspot.com/2010/05/here-comes-bride-mr-mrs-alexander.html#links - for the pictures - spent 24 hours in ICU after aspirating meconium. At <br />8'9", he was a giant in that incubator, among all the preemies. He had no residual after effects and graduated from Cal Poly two years ago with high honors!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-33653571210429959992010-05-12T09:41:51.613-04:002010-05-12T09:41:51.613-04:00Congratulations!
