Wow....sounds like quite a situation. Glad it turned out OK.
I don't know many in that group, but I do know that you had one terrific person wheeling with you in Pikachu. Phenomenal person to wheel with, and it appears, as I figured, a phenomenal person to have in an emergency situation. And the rest of the group is so well versed in wheeling and recovery, you probably couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help you out.
Again....glad it all turned out OK.....but probably not as glad as your wife and soon-to-be child.
