Messiah has been in and out of the hospital; she might have to go in again. Iverson, listening to people who know more than he - or any layman - would, has decided to bring her here, to Children's Hospital.
"From what I'm hearing, they're the best at it," he said.
He said the doctors "assured me they would get to the bottom of it. You look at them eye to eye and you can tell they truly believe that. You kind of feel comfortable about it."
"I have five kids," he said. "None of them have ever been this sick. It's a first-time thing for me. I like to look at myself as a strong person, especially dealing with everything in my life. But this is a totally different situation; you find out you're not as tough as you thought you were when it's one of your kids. All I do is just pray on it; everyone that cares anything about me and my family, I wish them to do the same."
"The strongest man in the world," Allen Iverson said, "I don't think they could deal with it if something happened to one of their kids. I just love my kids."
