Kangaroo Kids The Center For Fragile Children

Tethered to an oxygen unit, 23-month-old Elizabeth Wrensch toddles about the living room, tripping over the unit's cord, bumping into furniture. Nearby, her brother, Robert, 7 months, drinks happily from a bottle while snuggled in his mother's arms. A shrine-like collection of baby pictures decorates a wall in Jim and Candy Wrensch's Santa Ana living room--birth certificates and other mementoes of their 23 months of fear, anxiety and hope since their children were born severely premature.

Secomerica Inc. said Wednesday it has tentatively agreed to acquire a majority interest in Care Visions Corp., a Santa Ana-based pediatric health firm that provides services for medically dependent children through its Kangaroo Kids center. Under the proposed transaction, Secomerica, Newport Beach, will pay about $2.8 million for 55% of the shares of Care Visions Corp., which also provides home nursing and home infusion therapy to about 100 children throughout Southern California.
