The day has passed as we both tried to get our arms around this notion of Gabe as hemophiliac.\u00a0 As a dedicated user of the internet, I have looked up and printed out several different articles, brochures, information handouts.\u00a0 Canada Health Services had some good stuff; so did the CDC; and, the World Hemophiliac Federation.\u00a0 The amount of data, good data, available quickly astounds me every time I reach out for it.\u00a0 I have not had a disappointing search, ever.<\/p>\n
The emotional problem is this:\u00a0 lifelong.\u00a0 This tiny guy, still in the hospital from birth at 35 weeks, now has a mountain to climb every day, every hour for the rest of his life.\u00a0 This is a Sisyphean task because every time he rolls the ball up the mountain, it will come right back down.\u00a0 There is no cure.\u00a0 There is only amelioration.\u00a0 After looking at the various treatments, I became even more convinced Gabe has the right Dad.\u00a0 It will require fortitude to climb this mountain,\u00a0 go to sleep, get up and climb it again.<\/p>\n

Daffodils have begun to pop open everywhere, so yellow and white is a dominant accent to green here now.\u00a0 Tulips should come into bloom any day now and the magnolia is out in all its snowy fineness.\u00a0 Working in the garden, even for a bit, literally grounds me, draws anxiety out and replaces it with the strength of life’s eternal cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
