Mar. 27, 2008 at 7:22 PM Wow..that is scary.  My prayers are with your friend and her family.  When my Gracie was born, she was in the NICU for a week for breathing, she was a preemie.  She had the CPAT and so many IV"s in her little body.  It's hard to watch your little one go through so much but thank God she is a healthy 12lb almost 4 month old now.  God will keep lil Justine safe and hold him in his hands.
