Hi Everybody,
My husband emailed me this news story today (click on link below); it is the 8th most emailed story on Yahoo! news today. Â*Thought you guys might be interested to read? Â*These brothers have a rare chromosome disorder (similar to Lily) and are both trached.

It's kind of funny (in that weird, special-needs-mom-humor way); when I read the article, I was wondering what the "catch" was. Â*It's interesting, and of course my heart goes out to the family, but having a child with a trach, g-tube, and chromosome abnormality is so hum-drum day-to-day reality to me at this point, it was like reading a news story like "LOCAL WOMAN, 32, EATS CEREAL FOR BREAKFAST." Â*Know what I mean?

Are these folks on the board or on Aaron's page by chance?

Hope you're all doing well,
Erica (Lily's Mom)
