Kat, I'm so sorry things are so hard and that you and the noodles have to go through all of this.

I water my Ficus once a month, if that. I can't imagine the phone bill.

I'd be afraid that my houseplants would learn to dial 911.

My house got 43 on the walkability scale, but some of their distances are wack and they believe in a mythical coffee place.

I'm not a great plant owner. In fact, the orchid we have is denuded of all flowers and has 2 bare stalks. I wonder if it is time to pitch it. The plants that Allyson and Polgara both gave us are long-dead.

Much health-ma for the poor noodles. Eye surgery would be bad enough, but a trach? Just ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, here's hoping the universe brings some freakin' awesomely good things your way in the next few days. And that the procedures on your babies goes smoothly and etc. I'll be thinking about you guys.

I'm just gonna repeat what lisah said.

So sorry to hear the new tribulations Grace and Noah are being hit with, Kat. Here's hoping for the best possible outcomes and speediest recoveries.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Kat, I am so sorry for the risks that are coming up for you and the family. I really hope for the best for all of you.

Oh, Kat. My thoughts and love is with you and Noah and Grace. I'm so sorry that life is dogpiling on you guys so horribly.

Noah's surgery is not a huge deal. Routine for micro preemies. It's only a big deal in that the onset of the retinopathy has been so late.

I feel like the future for Noah and Grace is like a Wally Lamb book.

But, again, whatever. There's really nothing I can do about it.
