Mr R is still on his diet and supplements and is doing well. As he’s matured, he is better able to apply coping strategies and control [...]

My baby sleeps, head resting on my chest, pillowed on my soft body. Ah, this is why I am soft. So my baby will sleep, tucked in the nook of my arm. Her fine, fine hair calls to me for kisses, a thousand nuzzly kisses for my fine, fine baby.

Mr. P finally had his neurology appointment. The doctor was wonderful. We drove to a Texas Children’s Hospital clinic in Clear Lake which is about an hour away, but it was worth it for a thorough, personable, caring doctor.

CN’s is our neighbor, and his son is in Rob’s class. There was an incident this morning at the bus stop with his wife. It’s so hard living in this fallen world. Anyway, I called the school, waiting for R’s teacher to call me back. And I’ll probably write an email, so that there is [...]
