My son was 2 weeks old. He had not sleep well all night. Around 5 a.m. I discovered that he had a fever of 102 degrees. His doctor told us to come into the office at 7 a.m. He sent us to the hospital, because his fever was so high and he was so young. We had just admitted him into the hospital, and were waiting in his room while the doctors were performing test. The news came on and told us that the trade centers had been hit. We watched in silence as they told everyone what happened. My husband is the National Guard, his boss called and asked him if he heard what happened. My husband went to the army base as I waited with our son in the hospital. For the next week I watched the news broadcast, from his hos[ital room, about the horrors that had just occurred.
