Ok. Pointed e-mails have been sent. We'll see if they play nice, or if I need to call my lawyer and have her send a pointed e-mail.

Oh my. So much bad juju right now. I'm thinking good thoughts and sending strength to Susan, to vw, to Deena, and to anyone else who needs them.

Susan, re: info.
My mom had lung cancer, the second type. She also has Type II diabetes, and various other problems. Within a month of diagnosis, she's had a lobectomy (1/2 of one lung removed) and then followed up with 8 weeks of radiation. She was a little naseaous and lost all her hair.
That was...two and half years ago. She's now 62, has a cute pixie ("Radiation made me hair grow back thicker! Yeah!") and shows no signs of reoccurring cancer. She quit smoking when she was diagnosed.
It wasn't fun, by any means, but she's come through it ok. And is still doing all right. But it's surreal from the get-go. Lung cancer's a scary one.

You've quit smoking, though, right, Erin?

Nope. And I don't want to hear about it, cause I KNOW I should, but people telling me to stop, evern with the best of intentions, makes me want to smoke 10 at once.
It's my Addict Toddler self, NOT the most attractive or sane aspect of my personality, I full admit.

Oh boy, am I ever right there with you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Resolution wished to vw.
All good things, strength and courage to Susan and family.
Also, Deena, strength and courage to you and your family, too. It's amazing that Aidan has come as far as he has already, and that's due to your skill and patience with him. I'm also thinking that Aidan's preschool time will give you some mommy-daughter time with Kara, and some breathing room for the both of you, while providing him with some guided stimulus from new people who are professional at teaching children with his particular set of learning needs. It's wonderful to discover so early. As others have said, early intervention is working wonders.
I'm very sorry it wasn't the news we all wanted you to hear. But what I know is, both of those babies are so very lucky to have you as their mom.
