Jack's Mannequin

Andrew - longtime JM (and Something Corporate) follower here....Will be at HOB in Boston while visiting our 1 year old granddaughter, Hazel, at ICU in Children's Hospital. She feels your (past) pain as she is a little girl who is full of medicine and tubes; machines doing what her body should do. Like you - she will make it but is sedated and paralyzed temporarily in a vegetative state. We are taking our daughter (Leah) who has adopted this native Alaskan baby and is with Hazel at Children's Hospital to your concert. Leah is a NICU nurse in Alaska and fell in love with Hazel when Hazel arrived in the NICU as a newborn. Hazel's parents live in a remote fishing village and cannot care for her and asked Leah to adopt her. Docs in Alaska did not know how to repair Hazel so Leah fought a hard battle to get Hazel to Boston Childrens where specialists are working on her. Leah has left her job to be with Hazel during this lengthy stay....truly a story of love for a child. We are looking forward to your concert and some stress relief! Thanks for inspiring us! Hopefully Hazel's story reaches out to you.
