OMG GWEN!!!! See? My post just before yours asked you NOT to stop believing in miracles. And just a few hours later you got that call. I am absolutely thrilled for you with chills running down my spine when I read your post!!!

Heh, girl, we're in Ohio!!!! I'd love to meet up with you!! Feel free to PM me with anything you need and I'll do whatever I can to help out!!

Enjoy your sweet angel. Every moment you have with him is such a gift . . . and they grow up so quickly.
