I just bought a noise synth/theremin from a guy off the 'net, and shortly thereafter he sent me a message saying his wife had just given birth and he wouldn't be able to ship for a week or so, to which I said family is way more important, whenever you get to it. A few days later another message saying the baby was still in the hospital for observation and it might be a little while yet and I could get a refund if I wanted. I just said 'dude, family first, I'll take the synth whenever, I have enough toys to play with already.' :)
Anyway - kudos to you, and I hope the boy gets well soon.
