Because it takes balls to wear the skirt in the family...

Who is Steely Dad?

Steely Dad chronicles the (mis)adventures of Todd Gottlieb as he embarks on a career as a domestic engineer (read "stay-at-home dad"). Oh, and there might be the occasional pithy observation on the madness of our modern world.

Baby Emma Off Ventilator

 

fatherhood-fridayI realize some of you have been following the story of baby Emma, the 13-month old daughter of our close friends Sophie and Tyler Crew, who has been in the hospital on life-support for more than two weeks in what doctors are calling a Shaken Baby Syndrome incident. Well, I’m happy to report that doctors have removed Emma’s ventilator.  Although doctors are cautiously optimistic, this is indeed a very good sign.

Sincere thanks to everyone who has been sending prayers, well-wishes and financial support to Emma and the Crew Family. I want to encourage you to keep them coming! Although the family has seen a ray of sunshine, there is still a very long path to traverse. Know that your kindness and generosity, many of you complete strangers, has made all the difference.

Thank you!

    That is such great news. True there is still a very long road ahead for them, especially when you are talking about something neurological, but that is so good to hear. They will continue to be in my family's prayers.
