<<  At least we are on the way... >>

pat, you mean at least "someone somewhere" is on the way. there was a
question recently about this relentless cord card issue, and a pediatrician i
know was nearby, and i said, oh, this cord thing is so silly. she replied in
an extremely determined way "oh, they can go septic SO FAST and DIE! you
would never say not to do the alcohol if you had seen that!"

and she didn't think it was the least bit amusing when i then suggested that
babies be kept in the hospital in isolation until the cord falls off, to
prevent such dire events, with constant cord care being done in the most
sterile of conditions.

some people just don't have a sense of humor.
