I am a parent of a SIDS baby. Michael's birthday is September 8, 1983....he would have been 20 this year. I feel I am just now to the point where I can be of benefit to someone suffering from this unexplained tragedy. I am available for the Central Texas area, specifically Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Lago Vista, Leander, Liberty Hill....and all areas in between! As I offered before, I am available day or night. I recall back to when Michael died...I was put in touch with one lady who had lost her daughter to SIDS. If it had not been for her, and our many many hours on the phone and visits, I'm not sure I would have made it through.
