2. Thank goodness!
And thank you for sharing this with us. I was sick to read earlier tonight that he'd died.

4. I couldn't download the video.
You may want to send it to Hardball or someone at NBC news. I distinctly heard them say that they had gone back later to see what had happened to the mother and the child had died.

5. Uhm, that didn't look like the same woman to me.
However, I don't claim to be an expert. And the video from the convention center is hard to compare to.

How did you connect the person in this video to the one from 9/1?

6. Are you sure that's the same mom and child?
They don't mention that footage, and I thought she had short hair? I'd love for this to be true, but it doesn't seem like the same people. :(

16. I thought you were talking about the video footage of the mom saying
"I can't wake him up." I guess that was a different woman? :( But I'm glad this baby's okay.

19. The "I can't wake him up," woman and the woman being
interviewed on the link in the OP are the same. If you Google Lee Bemboom, the picture is in the 4th post down.

29. Does anyone have a screen capture?
So many babies, and I don't have video access :(

I do remember some heart wretching coverage in the early days, and all of those images are in my heart.

What about the triplets on that lady's lap?

MSNBC owes us an update show!
