What a night!
At 11 o’clock yesterday morning, out of the blue Josh became ill with vomiting, shaking, and he turned blue, he also became very lethargic. He vomited more than we could count and by the time I got home (it had been girls day at the One of a Kind show until this). When I gotContinue reading “What a night!”
ECHO day
The word ECHO is now an every day part of our vocabulary. I hate the word, I hate the fear that it instills and I hate the days that mark ECHO on my calendar. Today was one such day. All the way to Sick Kids this morning I talked to Josh about the upcoming ECHO,Continue reading “ECHO day”

The shower turns tragic for local 3.5 year old…
A bath in our house is called ‘bubbles’ by both boys. All we need to do is whisper the words and they go charging down to the basement in excitement of the bubbly bath to come.
