Sending all kinds of strength to both of you, Burrell.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Oh, Burrell. Best thoughts to you and your sister and the rest of the family.

In stupid news, I'm on an educational webinar, and the guy just said to close everything else on your computer to participate. Yeah, no -- wouldn't you die of boredom without other things to do during a webinar??

Absolutely! Isn't the whole point of Webinars to allow participants to only vaguely pay attention in the privacy of their own spaces as opposed to bringing people together to only vaguely pay attention in a meeting?

I took Grace to UCLA today to see her pulmonologist and had an interesting appointment. She is ordering a cap for trache (MEEP) and we need to go for another sleep study, but it needs to happen while she is capped (MEEP).
I also know have the results of the swallow study that was done in March so we can officially feed her. Good to know as I have been feeding her yogurt forever. We are basically pureeing food down to baby food thickness along with some chunks. I want to have her admitted to an in-patient feeding clinic for two weeks where they will starve her/torture her with a spoon/teach her to eat so we could be without a G-tube, but it has to happen before she's 7. And I don't even know how to do it. Maybe talk to my pediatrician?
