Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, hey, Kat--did you know immunisations caused Grace's health problems? God, I love my nurse. I know I told the stories the right way round, but somehow the extended impact of early delivery Grace and my cousin Julian is a vax issue.
And she did completely miss the point, which was that they are excellent lovable kids.
Whose immunizations? Grace's or mine? Either way, woo woo nurse is not science-based.
I must have been in shock when the kids were first in the hospital. I distinctly remember thinking "they aren't micro preemies! the doc thought they were bigger than he anticipated!"
There's a line in the article about waiting for the baby to declare itself. It's not something you hear outside a NICU but I do remember it.
I also love the fact that the ridiculous expense of my children is counterbalanced by the high NICU success rate. As opposed to an adult ICU which is equally expensive with more mortality thrown in.
I mainlined the articles at school and was deeply moved. The comments on the radiolab piece are maddening.
I just read the first article you linked to, Kat, and want now to read the rest. Whoa.
Whose immunizations?
Grace's, magically. What does "declare" mean, Kat? I'm saving the article for tomorrow when brain. Oh, and how little were your little ones, Kat?
Hey, if anyone can help me suss out a "deal" with Nikon DSLRs, can you help me here: ita ! "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" May 13, 2013 10:29:03 pm PDT ?
Serial: The answer to "Why is Lena Dunham the voice of the/our/your/XYZ generation?" (truly, that was the link from EW to HuffPo) One of the items seems to be "because she can have her character identify that way, and another would be...shit, I don't know.
But now I can find out how Chris Brown irritated his neighbours, and how they can strike back! Maybe I didn't read that one.
Declare means exhibit a will to live. Now the radio lab listeners are offended by that, they say its too close to abortion sctivists and what they have to say. I know it as the first 3 days are honeymoon ones as as systems fail you begin to see if you have a fighter. Grace self extubated several times which seemed to be her declaration that she was here and wanted to stay.
Wow. It's amazing that her chances of breast cancer went from 87% to 5%.
In other news, I was out of the office one day, and I have 93 emails. I want to go home now.
I'm sorry, lisah. Thinking of you and Uncle Bud this morning.
Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry.
