Update on Here We Go Again, posted Nov. 5

To those that have asked about the status of the 22 year-old who's wife had to have their pre-mature baby daughter delivered early when Mom ran into health problems:

Mom and Baby Daughter are doing remarkably well, thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers! In fact, they are due home very soon, in time for the Holidays.

As I indicated in the original story (you can read that here),  Young Father hasn't worked for his company long enough to be covered by their group insurance, nor had he amassed enough vacation or sick time to cover his time loss.

Certainly, it's hard enough what the family was going through, but to have short or no paychecks was simply kicking a guy when he was down.

Thankfully - and this is HUGE -  this company has a policy where employees can donate their unused sick time to a general fund for such.  Many companies have policies where employees can donate their time directly, as does this company.

So, Young Father is being covered for his time off to be with Mom and Baby Daughter by donation of unused sick time from co-workers directly, as well as from their corporate general fund for sick time.

For everything out there that's negative, there still remains those ever lovely silver linings.
