As for Trisomy 8, I was under the impression that this defect was incompatible with life. I would appreciate clarification on this. ************ Happy Birthday Marie. I hope that Lactnet HAS added a lot to your life, and to others' as well. I know that I can speak for Kathleen A. when I say that we are so happy to have been able to originate and actually MAKE Lactnet a "happening thing". You are JUST the kind of person that we want to reach. As for birthdays, all birthdays are gifts...I hope that you can find some happiness this Sunday. Many happy returns.... : ) Warmly, Kathleen B. ********************************************************************* Kathleen B.
