Story goes here..On Monday, 5-26-08, my nephews' son Andrew died...he was 9 yrs old. Andy was born with literally no brain. His brain stem quit developing at about 5 weeks gestation and tho the doctors knew something was wrong inutero, they had no idea how wrong til he was born. They gave Jon and Sandy the option of letting the hospital starve the baby to death instead of taking him home. Instead, these young parents chose to keep their child and care for him themselves at home. They had 2 more children in the following years with no problems whatsoever. I don't know how they did it...I just know they weren't willing to give up on Andy. Every life is worth something to somebody somewhere. Cappy22
