Judy,
I almost forgot , How is the book so far?

Jamr41 12/14/2009

The book is very good. I keep going back and re-reading pages or
paragraphs. Yes.. a good read for caregivers.

I wish I had time to just sit and read the whole thing cover to cover..
with all the baby sitting (little kids) I am doing now.. seems like I
just get minutes.
