The Therapy Fund | Vol 13

September 21, 2012 by melragent 3 Comments

How fitting that this post has the dubious honor of being lucky number 13. Cold, Flu and RSV season has officially begun.  Last year, RSV landed us in Children's Hospital for 5 days.  Protecting Sam from disease is hard, especially with his big sister back in that cesspool of disease known as … [Read more...] about The Therapy Fund | Vol 13

Sam the Anti-Preemie: Soundless scream in NICU | 11/19/2010

Dear God.  The screaming.  The ear piercing, toe curling, mind melting, soul crushing screaming that is emanating from my little boy these days.  These screams often come without warning or reason, and last hours (ok, more like minutes, but they feel like hours).  These screams are so impressive, … [Read more...] about The Therapy Fund | Vol. 9

I know I am not supposed to compare my children or assume that what worked for one will work for the other... but here I am, in a position where I let my "It worked for Irene" get in the way of common sense. You see, with Irene, if you told her no or to not touch something, she listened. You only … [Read more...] about The Therapy Fund | Vol. 4

Sam the Anti-Preemie

This week, the therapy fund contribution is 100% for me. I am now 20+ months into breastfeeding my son. Of course, the first 3 months all pumping until Sam was old enough to latch and then strong enough to breastfeed all of his meals. But, ever since he came home from the hospital, Sam has … [Read more...] about The Therapy Fund | Vol 3 | The Art of Artichoking
