Well, this cold turned into being RSV.  She is now on steroids for her lungs and a breathing machine to help her intake oxygen.  All this from the symptoms of a cold.

I feel so bad for my neice because she doens' t live near our family, so she is at the hospital every day by herself while her husband is working.

Does anyone have suggestions on a gift that I can send her to help her threw this time?  I would love a book on premies and how they survived ~ or do you think this would be a bad idea?

Anyone know why the back is safer then the side now?
