Knock Knock! Anybody Still Out There?

Ha!  I bet you were all thinking that I have dropped off the planet!  It's only been about 6 months since my last post!

There is so much to share! So much to write about!  I don't even know where to begin!!  That being said, I'm just going to start in the middle.

I have been able to get copies of a few Texas Death Certificates, including one for Clarence George - older brother to Grandpa "Little Tony" George.  He was born 19 Dec 1923 and died 26 Dec 1923.  The COD is listed as "Purpura hemorrhagica neonatorum".  Of course I called Mom right away for her medical knowledge.  She didn't know off the top of her head but did some extensive research in just a few hours.  It is all speculation on our part, but the mostly likely COD in layman's terms is a vitamin K deficiency.  Vitamin K and the reason it is so important to give to newborns was not known until 1943, 20 years later.
