Ian,
    Totally off topic, but here goes. If you'd like to email me off list, 
you're more than welcome.
    How old is Cai? You may remember I have twins, almost 4 years old. 
Multiple pregnancies and deliveries come with their own set of issues, as 
you may know. Anyhow, issues, we had many. My daughter was born with 
torticollis and severe reflux. 4 different times in the hospital I watched 
nurses and doctors running through the halls with my very maroon/blue baby 
yelling "code blue"...."STAT". She was on a heart/breathing monitor for the 
first 5 months of her life...countless times stopped breathing and we were 
doing the resuscitate thing. My heart goes out to you, because I know so 
very well how hard that was for us and how hard it is to try to maintain 
some sense of normalcy in your life. I do not know Cai's condition, or the 
things you've been through with him. But I do feel for you, your wife, him, 
and others in your family. If I can listen or be of help (??) or anything, 
please feel free to email me. Prayers and thoughts for you and yours.
    Candace
