life or something like it

i just saw the most amazing thing on the today show. an anonymous baby organ donor gave their heart and lungs to a baby boy who needed a lung transplant (they do heart and lungs because it's easier to recover, etc.) and took the baby boy's heart and put it into another baby girl. isn't that completety fascinating?

i also found out some really terrible news last night. sylvia, a long-time reader and contributor on pajamazzon.com and frequent visitor here took her life last month. i am so so so sorry for her friends that may see this. i am in total shock.
