We lived in a travel trailer in Los Angeles. My bed was a wicker 
basket. I had rubeola and was as sick as a dog.  Well, Mom (an RN) 
heard me making noises (I was an extremely quiet baby) and came in to 
find me blue. She didn't drive, so she had to call a taxi post haste 
to get me to L.A. County Hospital. She was preparing to give me a 
trach with a paring knife in the back of the taxi, but decided 
against it. In the ER, they gave me a trach very, very quickly. So my 
scar is pretty....BIG.

You speak of 9 lives, they treated me with Chloramphenicol, figuring 
that I would die anyway.
