Erica: * Sitting Up But Still In My Arms* So Good News?

Doctor: Well You Can Say So But...

This Is Why I Hate Doctors. There Is Always A But In Everything And Knows It Makes The Patient Nervous And Scared.

Cyn: But What * Nervously Asking*

Doctor: Well The Good News Is That For You Being Under Weight And Lack Of Nutrition And No Prenatal Meds He's Is Healthy As A Kite But As For You. It Was Possible For You To Fall In A Comma While Giving Birth But You Didn't. Your Son Weights Five Pounds,Three Ounces.
