ALMOST BETTER!

We are so fortunate to live in Canada. When our children are sick, we take them to the doctor or the hospital and we can concentrate on their recovery. If we lived in the States, there could potentially be a life changing bill attached to the service. If we lived in a third world country, I'd likely be planning a funeral right now. So today I am grateful to be Canadian.





Don't worry, I'm not going to start singing O Canada.





Here is a little pic of baby and me. He is now tube free and out of intensive care. He's looking at a few more days in the hospital, but not long now.




It's been one heck of a week. Now that the crisis is seemingly behind us, I gotta say. I am so effing tired, Beyond tired even. I have been torn for seven days, trying to decide where I should spend my time. I was spread a little too thin and as a result I felt I wasn't really effective anywhere.

Anyway, being able to hold and comfort baby boy today reminded me what its all about.

I wish I had a clever quote to end with but I don't. Too effing tired to think of one.

Glad he's doing better JoJo!

Maybe after Obama gets in, we'll start to see some real medical care here too.

Get some rest!
