love alfd attention, Haynes said. Medicine is
administered only at a doctor's orders or a
parent's request, and a team of doctors advises
the center in emergencies, she said.

to tell me if Ryan's fever had gone up or down,
etc.;" McCuen said. "I feel very comfortable,
about Ryan being there."

room for 12 children with.separate tiedrooms
and a central activity room.
