I used to love it when i would be in icu and be looking at all the machines and you knew that if it flat lined you had a problem. You just get tired. Youre not in pain. You just get tired. And the next thing i know, a nurse in the icu, a doctor comes in, heres what we have to do for the patient. And they listen to the doctor. Es, right. Any rate, what i was thinking about, carol, is that i believe almost every nurse in the twoyear period who took care of bo showed up and waited as long as five hours in line at wilmington, delaware, to be at his viewing and funeral, which is a hell of a testament to the nurses but also a testament to our children.

Now, more than a year into the campaigns rollback and destroy isis, it is impossible to assert that isis is losing or that we are winning. To be sure, sure, there has been some tactical progress in putting a recent rick capture of romani. This is a testament to our leaders, but serious challenges remain. Isis has lost some territory but has consolidated power in its core territories in both iraq and syria. It maintains control of key iraq cities and art military commanders estimate that this key terrain will not be retaken this year. The un reports that since isis invasion of iraq in 2014, nearly 20000 iraq civilians have been killed, nearly 3500 people, predominantly women and children are estimated to be isis slaves in iraq. The secretary division in iraq is no surprise that the training of Iraq Security forces has been slow and the building of support for sunni tribal forces is even slower.
