Thursday morning will find Parker with EKG probes on his chest and covered in ECHO goo. Yup, it’s time to visit the cardiologist again. Words can’t describe how much I hate these appointments. If it were possible to send Reed while I stayed home tomorrow, I would……with my bottle of valium clenched tightly in my… [Continue Reading]

Most of Parker’s first years were spent in my arms sitting in a rocking chair inside of his ‘safe room.’ Sick far more often than he was healthy, we spent much of the time reading books.
