Damn Duane, that's some intense shit. I'm really happy for you that everything has worked out and you have a beautiful, healthy daughter. I can't even
imagine going through that with my daughter, although I've certainly got my own stories about her. By the way, my baby girl is gonna be 4 in June and
it looks like I'll get to go see her on and right around her birthday. That'll be the first time I've seen her in over a year and I can't fuckin'
wait. Anyway, sorry to go off on my own shit there, this one's for you. Congratulations on the health of your daughter, Big Guy!!!

You guys with kids are the bravest motherfuckers on the whole earth. I'm not being a smart ass. I'd love to have a kid but I think I'd be a horrible
dad because of my 'stability' issues. Hats off to all of you motherfuckers!

Whatever the # is I just hope you had good health insurance because it has to be some outrageous figure.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

the official hospital tally was just under a million. but of course, oxford has an arrangement with the hospital where they only pay a portion of the
total - call it a frequent customer discount! all we had to pay was a $500 copay. all the other preemie-related expenses (perscriptions, copays,
equipment transportation, etc, but NOT diapers, food, etc) got totaled up and written off as medical expenses at the end of the year.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Duane, do you raise money by participating in the walk? Maybe next year you should set up a PayPal account so people on here can sponsor your
participation and help contribute.

Good idea, Mark, thanks. Yeah, you sign up to do the walk, then get people to sponsor your participation. It's just a flat amount, though; none of
this six cents a mile crap.
The March of Dimes WalkAmerica site is actually pretty thorough. Everyone participating in the walk can set up thier own page with a photo, their
kid's story, etc, and people can contribute on the spot with a credit card or they can pledge, and give you cash later. Here's ours: http://www.walkamerica.org/teamsadie
My wife and Sadie and I did the full 10k walk last Sunday. I'm proud to say we obliterated our $500 goal. We're still getting contributions, but
have collected over $2,500 so far. Quite surprising and very humbling. People we don't even know -I mean, at ALL- donated on our daughter's behalf.
I think people can continue to contribute for another two weeks, so we'll see what the total winds up being.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.
