Hi Steve,
Given we can see Hunter is on a vent and being a little guy like that with 
hands flailing about and grabbing at things, how do you keep the vent 
attached to his body, neck, throat to stop him from pulling it out?

I photographed a great number of kids after the USSR Chernobyl disaster who 
had IV's attached to their chests to avoid pulling them out of their arms as 
they rolled about, so I'm aware of that procedure after seing enough of them 
done and some being re-set due to over activity. But a little guy like this?

Sorry folks I realize it's not a Leica question but it's an interesting one 
for me and I'm sure many who are interested. So Steve I suppose you could 
come back private in case some get twitchie about medical descriptions.

thanks,
ted
