You will notice she is has chosen the Yak-50 as her prefered mount. She can fly it as soon as she stops crapping her pants and can talk....CLEAR PROP!
Now a moment to ask for your help. We are trying to reach a goal and are using any avenue we can to get the word out! I hope this does not offend anyone or break any forum rules
So...
Our daughter Sydney was born March 4th, 2006, nine weeks premature. Her mother developed H.E.L.L.P Syndrome, a severe and rare form of Preeclampsia. This syndrome almost proved fatal for both my wife and our unborn daughter. Since pregnancy causes H.E.L.L.P, the only treatment is to deliver the child. After 48 hours of steroids to strengthen our daughter’s lungs and prepare her for the world and medication to prepare my wife for the surgery, Sydney was delivered by C-Section. She was born weighing a mere 3 lbs 9 ounces.
Mother and baby are now doing well. The week leading up to our daughters birth and the week after, have been extremely stressful as parents. We spent countless hours in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) at Good Samaritan Hospital here in Cincinnati. We simply wanted to be as close to our daughter as possible during these critical days of her young life. Surrounding us were other newborns suffering from various health issues. Their parents maintain a vigil over their precious children and rejoice at something as simple as a whimper or slight movement. It is the little things that really fill your heart with such joy. There are also the terrifying moments like when the alarms on your child’s monitor go off telling you that your daughter has stopped breathing or her heart rate has dropped dangerously low. If there were a monitor on you, it would indicate the same thing. Wonderful, loving and supportive family and friends have made the difference. There is a saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. I can also tell you that there are no atheists in the NICU. Countless and continuing prayers have provided the needed strength to endure this.
There is hope for these little ones and their parents. It is through the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes goals are simple: to prevent premature births, birth defects, and infant mortality. As parents of a preemie, we have become involved in our local chapter and plan on continuing that involvement long after Sydney comes home. We would like the March of Dimes to realize their goals so that no other parent has to go through what we have had to go through. One walk through a NICU and you too would be motivated to help. We would like everyone to join us and contribute to this very worthy cause. If you cannot donate, join a local group and walk during one of the many WalkAmerica walks.
We have set up a site for you to contribute. Every donation is tax deductible and you get a receipt right away! They take cash, checks, credit cards, and Paypal! ALL DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO THE MARCH OF DIMES. WE DO NOT SEE ONE DIME OF THIS.
Please know that these donations are NOT for our daughter. These go directly to the March of Dimes and are used in their life saving work.
We hope you will join us and contribute to the March of Dimes!
Best Wishes,
Tim, Donna, and Sydney Gagnon

If you dont feel comfortable using the site for a donation, you can send a check to them directly or to us payable to the March of Dimes. I will forward my address to those who prefer that way.
By the way, she is home now after five weeks in the NICU. She is doing very well and is up to just over five pounds. She is keeping us up every three hours and has pooped on me more than once...but I could care less; she is alive, she is home, and she is mine.

Another way to donate money to your favorite 501c non-profit org (i.e. March of Dimes) is to use the search engine www.goodsearch.com.
Oh, btw, they are family friendly. No porn sites or NAMBLA will appear. It's powered by Yahoo and seems to be just as good at google or any other site.
