My apologies for brevity and inconsistency, but we are in the midst of a family emergency and I am racing out of town. In my potential absence over this Thanksgiving week - and later, to augment or even replace your reading here - check out Susanne M...
By the time any reasonable person reads this, I will be giving or have given a talk at the local AAP VT Fall meeting here in Burlington. I am quite flattered that Dr. Aakre thought me capable of being sandwiched in among the likes of Drs. Barry Heath...

If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
