Hugs Beverly tight.
I hope the fever goes down more, and that today is a better day.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Bev, I wish I could do anything at all. Hell, even if I was just nearby for moral support. You and yours are in my thoughts anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I heard that they do funny things to metabolism compared to regular sugar
Fructose as opposed to other simple sugars, yes. But your average table sugar is higher in fructose than HFCS -- it's just easier to over-consume HFCS because it's such a common additive, and you can put it in things and still label them "No sugar added!"

And yes, Bev, what they said. All the strength and ~ma in the world to you.
Sean, how is S doing?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The support means a lot, Sean, even at a distance, it means more than I can say.
When we got up to the floor for visiting hours last night the trauma ICU had a new patient, and there had to be two dozen friends and family members clogging the hallway. The horror, despair, and sorrow was palpable.
There's something to be said for physically present support, but knowing StE has people sending prayers and good wishes from all over is just as powerful, so I can't thank you all enough. It means more than I can say.
How's S doing? And how are you?
And has anybody heard from JZ or Hec today?

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear Beverly. I wish there was something more to do than send loving support. Keeping calm is the mom's job. It sounds like you have a good medical team doing their job. Those kind of fevers are so very scary. Much love sent your way and positive healing strength to StE.
IT'S EVERYWHERE.
Bobby is so very good about reading his labels. He totally gets the sugar=headache for him. He always asks if restaurants have sugar free desert options. He asks friends parents about ingredients used in snacks offered. He is cute in his efforts, but still once or twice a month he is in pain. Usually it is from not eating often enough. We still have to work on the eating 6 times a day does not equal eating 6 huge meals a day.

Bev, Sean, all my punctuation are belong to you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Beverly...sending cooling thoughts the way of StE, and more peace to you and the rest of your family.

Interesting article Jessica. Must look into blue blocking glasses. Brendon's bus will be picking him up at 6:40am starting Wednesday. Eeep. After a summer of reading until 4-5am and sleeping until mid-afternoon this is gonna hurt. I think he will get to school in time to eat breakfast in the cafeteria so that would be cool. GF a few blocks away has son in the same class, so our plan is to work out at 6:40 when the boys get on the bus. That is the plan, a good plan, now to see if we can keep it up.
