A teenage mom from Louisiana who was evacuated to San Diego will be reunited with her one-year-old son, who had been taken to Arkansas with his grandmother before Hurricane Katrina hit.

I can't even imagine how hard it's been for this young mother to be away from her baby while also dealing with the trauma of surviving one of the worst national disasters in our history. Thankfully, Brandy Johnson had the good sense to send her baby out of Louisiana as a precaution, or this might have been a tragic tale instead of a story of a happy reunion.
