Oh Brittnie, I remember that well. Jenny was staying with us at the time and she was getting updates from Ryne. It broke my heart. I am so glad he is doing so well now! I can't imagine facing the prospect of losing your baby! What a strong, special little boy he must be to make it through something so horrible! And you guys must be strong parents to come out of such a trial with such grace. I'm so happy today is the best day ever :)
