Awesome :) I know some nights you have to deal with tough losses so it's great to hear about these victories. Every day from now on that this kid wakes up and goes to school, looks at his mom's face, sees a sunrise... you helped give him that. How awesome.

How's the kid doing though? How long were they down for?

My last DOA stayed that way - we even ran it for an hour till his pH was 6.5. He didn't make it.

You should be proud of yourself -- you do a job that I would honestly fear doing. You have a lot of strength that I lack, and I know a lot of people do too, and I admire that about you.
