Well, gosh ....I guess the AC guys have to follow the laws, or the other side would be really upset and maybe make things worse...but thank God the boss is trying to change some of the conditions.

Also - is the DD for life? Or if Mac doesn't mistake another kid for a huge stuffy in 5 years, is it removed?

HUGS and PRAYERS that all turns out well! At least you will have your Mac alive - and hopefully running with the team again.
