I was holding the little bundle late arvo on Thurs. So thank you nocturnal dialysis for giving me new life, in more ways than one!! :lol:

Congrats, Bear!  
There are many great experiences in life, but nothing as fun as a new grand baby. Enjoy her! And I, too, thank those who make it possible for us to have better txs so we can live with more health/comfort and fulfill our destiny.
