I can't believe that. I was actually just thinking of him last week....we were talking about horrible days in the ER in the last few years, and the plane crash came up. I can't believe he died. Didn't he just have a baby not too long ago, or am I thinking of someone else? I can't imagine being the only survivor of a crash like that and not having some bad thoughts every day. That is so so sad.
Thanks for the kind words about my miscarriage. The odd thing is that now that we're 3 1/2 weeks out from it, life seems back to normal. I wanted to have a baby for the last 18 months, and we finally started trying in December, so not being pregnant but wanting to be became my normal life. So the short period of time that I knew I was pregnant has become this really weird "blip" and now we just feel like we're back to where we were in March. I do feel really lucky that my body is recovering so quickly. I had a friend who had a miscarriage in 2006 at 8 weeks and had a D&C. She had retained products and her beta hcg didn't drop to 0 for 6 weeks, plus she developed a uterine infection. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I think I've already ovulated again, so I do feel lucky in that way.
Rambling done 
Avery has become such a cute little stinker! I love watching everyone's kids on the board grow up, even though I don't really know most of you guys!

Thank you so much (both of you!) for the kind words about Avery. I can't believe he's going to one already. he just took his first steps this past Tuesday! He's really a good boy, so that means our second will probably be a demon! haha.
I can't believe steve passed away either. I wasn't that close to him, he had just started jumping when i quit QL, but i know he was an American pilot and was really good friends w/Scott (the pilot that passed away in the crash). he didn't have any new baby, he did have a son that lives in the northeast w/his mom. NJ i think. i didn't go the memorial service, but i heard his son spoke and it was just gut wrenching. he was paralyzed from the mid chest down, so i'm sure that wasn't easy dealing with when you're used to flying planes. i think it all just got to him. it's just so sad he had to go like that. ironic thing is that part of his job for the pilot union was to councel pilots/crew that were in crashes and get them back in the air. he was on the team that counceled American flight 800 that crashed in NY a few years back. he was there after 9/11 w/the crews that were at the airports, etc. i can just see him now with all my other friends having beers shooting the shi* around a bon fire! LOL. i have to think that, it's the only way to move on. i'll have one heck of a party waiting for me when my times comes, that's for sure!
I'm glad you're body has recovered so quickly, too. it would be hard if you had a lot of problems afterwards, it would seem even more hard to deal with. I can't even start to imagine how that would feel. my thoughts are with you!!
Thank you again for everything you do in the ER. i know many people are alive today because of your crews!! you do great work! :-)
