Mary Lou and I emailed back and forth, liked her military post - there is hope in the land of the Great PX  as we used to call the US before Wal-Mart,etc.).

Happy to see our M.D.'s writing in again.

Can we persue the ABM in hospital thread some more- this is getting good,  maybe we can get some concrete things going to bring to our communities, i.e. how to scare the hospital adminstration enough so they will respect the wishes of parents.

Am just wondering, do we really know what normal neonatal behavior should be like other than from home births and even those haven't been published about enough.  How can one call almost anything today a 'normal birth'?  What is any kind of normal???

I too, had some problem this morning in getting the NET, Jan - but you made my day FLASHSESSIONS!!!!!!  I love it! You really picked the right bunch for that word - it that a real word or a Barger noun? two huggies for that one.
