Doctors recommended a transplant, and she was moved from a hospital in Dayton to University Hospital here. David's mother stayed close to Patrick, who was in intensive care. Beth's mother helps with the baby now. So are fathers. Say it's a pony keg.
Money is tight.
People who know David are doing what good people do. They are trying to help. Food, music, a silent auction. If you can't make it and would still like to help, donations go to ''Friends of David and Beth Dean,'' Fifth Third Banks of Northern Kentucky, P.O. Box 427, Florence 41022. It is my impression that David would do anything for his kids, including laying bare his life.
