Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 , Thanks for sharing your story. You are a wonderful mommy who followed her instinct and pushed to have the proper care given to Tucker. It sounds like he is doing very well and he is just adorable! Thanks for sharing the pictures! I can't believe how big he looks now compared to his front page picture! Marci ( Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
