A thought
If you can have a conversation with your child, that’s a pretty good sign they don’t need surgery on their mouth.

“Games,” my butt
Last night I let Namine play on the laptop. She asked me if she could play Elmo games on the computer, so I went to sesamestreet.org. Rookie mistake.

Anger under control
Ever since Namine’s cardiology appointment in which we decided to go ahead with the Fontan – the third surgery in a three-stage heart repair – she has been angry. Not angry all the time, but quicker to anger; more prone to temper tantrums.

Fun at Gramma’s

Playground time
The other night Jessica wasn’t feeling well, so I took Namine over to the park so she could have some peace and quiet. It threw our entire evening’s schedule off, but Namine didn’t mind.

We consider the benefits of the Fontan now versus later.

Echo tomorrow
Nearly every cardiology visit is filled with big and scary words. Tomorrow’s word of the day is echocardiogram. (Am I supposed to put a hyphen or space in there somewhere? As a self-taught medical student – by necessity, you understand – I can never remember.)
