It made us tired. Otherwise, it was uneventful. They confirmed her bipap settings were accurate and saw that her stats look good while asleep on bipap. ---

I didn’t know this was a two-round contest at first. A friend of ours put her in the contest and then told us about it afterward. Hopefully, you’re all up for one more round. ---

I voted too. She was a shoo in to win. Ready and waiting for round two. I’m sure that $1000 would come in handy. Also, Happy Belated Ten Month Day Sweet Getty. I always remember her days because she’s exactly one month younger than my son. ---

May I suggest when the finals votes are needed that a new thread be started, in case anyone isn’t following this thread as closely as needed (I missed the first voting)? I bet you’d get more votes.
