There is only one true answer. The man upstairs has spared this child. Since this site seems to be a tight group- Maybe we should pass the hat and donate toward the chair. My wife was w/chair bound for three years so I have a soft spot for those confined, especially children. Put me down for $50 and consider this a challenge to everyone else.
