It’s a slightly quieter house now in that baby Cookie has gone home to live with his relative. She’s over the moon to have him, and he’s a content little guy with all the holding and doting that’s going on. So it’s a happy ending in my book! It almost didn’t happen, because the relativeContinue reading “It’s never uncomplicated in foster care”

Gloriously Unemployed
I’ve written a little bit about my work history previously here. If you don’t feel like reading the old post, in short, my work story is as follows: I went to Cornell Law School, and went straight to a law firm of roughly 65 attorneys where I worked for 15 years practicing environmental and zoningContinue reading “Gloriously Unemployed”
“Tiny” needs a new nickname
When she first came to us, “Tiny” was deemed failure to thrive. She was so small and so sick, that calling her “tiny” came naturally. Since then, she’s been diagnosed with a whole host of medical issues that keep her small, not least of which is a form of skeletal dysplasia, a.k.a. dwarfism. She’s aContinue reading ““Tiny” needs a new nickname”

A girl in that age range with medical problems (husband = nurse) would be our ideal situation. DoContinue reading “Waiting”
Love is My Gift
It’s 4:30 in the morning and I’m wiiiiide awake. I usually wake up between 5:30 and 6:30 but 4:30 is a surprise this morning. I went to bed at 7:30 as usual. So the fact that I’m wide awake this early I take to be a good sign. That, plus I can go up andContinue reading “Love is My Gift”
Our “Speciality” in Kids with Medical Issues
I mentioned in an earlier blog that Seth and I specialize in kids with medical issues. Here’s the story of how that came about and some of the kids we’ve had with medical issues. It started gradually with kid I shall call Gronckle (for his resemblance to the dragons in How to Train Your DragonContinue reading “Our “Speciality” in Kids with Medical Issues”
