    How's baby Gabriel doing and your response to the parents? Yeah, I think doing well. There's an upcoming surgery. I don't know exactly what day, but I know it's got to happen within the first week to save the baby's life. And then there'll be a couple of other surgeries, I think one from four to six months and another one that occurs 18 to five years, depending on how the baby's doing. But our goal was just to save the baby, make sure that the baby had the opportunity to get life-sustaining treatment, which everybody deserves, no matter what your age is. And that's what we fought for and that's what we got. So I'm really pleased. I'm excited about this baby. I'm excited that baby Gabriel is here on earth and alive and well, and we're very optimistic about the future.
