That's a quandry. I'm guessing it varies state to state. Other than that, I have no clue.

Love Noah's chunky knees.

Brain is bumblebee in a flower garden. Please send smoke or whatever makes bees stop. Can't keep train of thought...oh, that! handwaves

Devi is posted watch fridge. For 2 hours now. Makes me jumpy.

Hey, Noah's bigger than her.

See? Maddening bee.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The hospital won't allow me to get a DNR for her. Legal or not?

FWIW, the PICU chief here (I was very vague about specifics) called bullshit on this. He said that if the mom judges this to be the best course, her judgment has to be given tremendous weight. Either the hospital should agree, or the neonatology attending should schedule a meeting with her and at least one MD or nurse from every service that's consulting on the baby, to sit down and all talk together about this decision and why they do or don't think it's the right decision at this time. But simply refusing or telling mom she "can't do that" is in his opinion possibly legal but definitely bullshit.

I'm so sorry you and your beloveds are going through this awful wringer.

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

I don't know about the legality but I hope they took it seriously and provided some real information about why they couldn't do it, instead of brushing off what is a very important request. Call the most important person there that you can get a hold of if they did that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Random question of the day-- does anyone know how to type an Umlaut on LJ?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Same way you would any special character in HTML, I think.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kat, I'm so sorry all this is happening. I wish the best resolution possible, for all of you, soonest.

My foot-surgery ~ma is strong, so I send some to mac.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have more than those.

It's weird. Work is clicking. It's amazing how much easier it is to remember stuff when you know stuff. Part of me thinks that's counterintuitive, but really I know enough that I can file, with context, and without context I am nothing.

I kinda envy people who file without context. My sister's good for that. She's the sort that noticed Wesley Snipes was in the Michael Jackson video before he'd done anything else. Why would I file that where I could bring it up again? She weird.

Okay, the cold is making me cringe is making me headachey. Must go.
