    Baby heart: First, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am that your family has had to endure such a nightmare. It is cruel to put parents of a chronically ill child through such additional stress. You should be able to concentrate on your son's wel...

    Dear rollyp80: I'll try. I keep hearing nightmare stories about how it will be like Canada where everyone waits 6-9 months for treatments, surgeries etc., etc. I have never had to wait for anything, nor has any person I have EVER known. But some DO ...
