And then there was the time...
That's definitely how stories of this day will start one day.
Do you remember the time when, you'd just finished your first term back at OSU - it'd gone horribly in and of itself - we got a call telling us our son's hemoglobin counts were down. We spent the next few frenzied days in lab work, doctor's appointments. But, wow, that one day ... we had an 8:15 appointment to see the doctor. We woke up to at least 4 inches of snow - oh, ooh, I had a migraine, too -, left at 8, arrived at 9am. Mark was supposed to be at work at 9. Then we had to pick up iron for Liam, but somehow it fell out of the car, we had to ask the doctor to call the script back in, Mark didn't get to work until after noon. He got his grade for chem that day, too - man, was he bummed over that first silly chem class. Wow - you don't get much crazier than those days...
That's what we'll sit around a fire and laugh about.
Some day.

Yikes. Is Liam okay?

Oh yeah, sorry, he's fine. They don't know why his counts are so low, but he has no symptoms. They're pretty sure it's his iron that's down. We just need to get it back up. Breastfed babies are particularly susceptible, as a baby is born with a 6 month supply and he doesn't get iron from me, so he'd get it from solids - if he ate any. So, it's all manageable.

Oh miy god- I had that day today too. When I get home from work tomorrow I'll try to post. I'm okay. Babies are okay. I'm glad to be alive today. I'm just so thankful.

Wow. Hopefully your time laughing in front of the fire comes sooner rather than later. Of course I won't be spending any time in the near future sitting too close to a fire ;) ... so when you're there laughing, make sure you have a chuckle for me. Love ya!

Oh God, keep my Lilu safe from harm. Clear up this medical mystery. Cover him with my kisses.

Papa D -- thanks so much -- I'll probably see you near Christmas; it's OH's turn this year.

Ah, love, it all works out in the end. It hasn't killed us. I hope Nietzsche is right. This is our spiritual spinach, right?
