He was born with a perforated lung, low grade infection and other respiratory ailments. He too was whisked away to intensive care in an isolette to another hospital across town which specialized in "preemies."
He was in the children's intensive care unit for the better part of a 10 days.
Twenty-one years later... this preemie --- now a man, became an Eagle Scout as a senior in high school, and now serves in the US Marine Corps while earning his degree in Biotechnolgy.
With any luck at all getting the chit he needs from his commanding officer to do so, he intends to be at the March on DC with the rest of us on Saturday.
