  1. There are few things as distressing as hauling your perfect child out to discover he/she is not so perfect after all. My middle child was born with a heart murmur, so at one week old, we were holding her down for the techs at Children’s Hospital so they could do a Doppler image of her heart, and the tiny jet of blood that was leaking through. Years later, our youngest needed an ultrasound to investigate the strawberry mark located on the center of her back, in case it was a stray nerve bundle that had somehow not grown inside her spine. In both cases, the terror was short-lived — the murmur healed, the mark was benign — but we both aged a bit in worry and fret.

    You’re right: in the Grand Scheme of things, ear tubes are not cataclysmic. Wishing your little guy well.

  2. Kid health things suck, don’t they? It is amazing, though, how they can be down and out one minute and running in circles the next.

    Wishing y’all well.

  3. Poor kiddo. Agreed though, these things always make you thankful for the relative health of your child. Is anything more important? My answer is definitely not. Even typewriters :-)

    You gotta do nano. You gotta! Cause I am doing it this year. C’mon!
