I wish you the best. It's times like these when you know who your friends are and you seem to have many wonderful friends to help you through this.
I send you good thoughts.
Marie, Paris
Thank you Marie.
I look at it this way. My son is alive and my problems are secondary, and that keeps the self pity at arm's length. There are many people worse off than me, in fact, one of AHNC's viewers, Julie, has been seriously ill for weeks. Get well, dear Julie.

A photo
released by The University of Cambridge shows a rook, a member of the crow
family, as it drops stones into a tube to raise the water level and bring a worm
into reach, at the Sub-department of Animal Behaviour at University of
Cambridge. In Aesop's fable 'The crow and the pitcher' a thirsty crow uses
stones to raise the level of water in a pitcher to quench its thirst. A new
study published online Thursday, Aug. 6, 2009 in the journal Current Biology
demonstrates that rooks, birds belonging to the corvid, or crow family, are able
to solve complex problems using tools and can easily master the same technique
demonstrated in Aesop's fable.
