His mom reports not wanting to look at him, much less of picking him up. Today at 11 years old, with first class care and love, he is a 125-pound, four feet-nine inch tall chubby handsome New York fifth grader. The way I hear it, Vincent’s mom - my aunt, credits the hospital nurses with being the angels who helped to get the child through those very critical times.
