She had to go back in for a second 4 hour surgery for a complication. But it's going to be a long long recovery.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All the best for your family's medical travails, Kat.
Tonight is apparently the night that Supernatural and GA bring the pain. What a nine o'clock hour.
Got test results today. I don't have any autoimmune disorders past some arthritis. Not the first time I've popped preliminarily positive for lupus. That and thyroid disorder. Apparently I look like I have thyroid problems.

Oy. Representative opposing the bill granting family leave to federal employees, because people might take advantage of it by stocking up on kids: [link]
Workers "could have one adoption or one foster child per year, resulting in every year you get a new foster child, every year the husband and wife if they are both federal workers would take four weeks off with pay, because they have simply taken in a new foster child," he said before the vote.

She had to go back in for a second 4 hour surgery for a complication.
Ugh. I can't even imagine. I hope that's it for complications for her and the rest of it goes smoothly.
But it's going to be a long long recovery.
That's what I have heard from others. But I'm glad she's home. It's got to be better to be there than at the hospital.
Your father too. Oh Kat, I send my thoughts and my blessings.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In baboon tribes, there's often a taboo against hitting an infant. An adult baboon will sometimes swipe a baby and use it as a shield to escape a dangerous confrontation.
Apparently this guy thinks the federal government is staffed by panicky baboons.

Well the first surgery was long. She found out a week after being officially on the list that there was a liver. So she was at the hospital. The surgery started at 8:00 PM and wasn't finished until 8:00 AM the next morning.

Man, that's serious, Kat. I wish her heartily the best.
Last time I was at the ER the social workers came to talk to me. They're on my case, trying to make sure I cope with this properly. Way to make me feel inconspicuous.
