Now I would like to take a moment and say that I am sorry that your little one is requiring extensive doctors visits. That has to wear on any person's nerves. Whatever it is, I hope it gets better.
Thanks. But it's really not a big deal. Had a heart arrythmia when he was born, but if it werent' for the fancy machines you'd never know he had an issue. It's mostly cleared itself up after a year, but there will be one missed beat in a 24-hour span so they keep scheduling us to go bakc and get the monitor put on. I view it more of a formality than anything - this country takes babies' health seriously apparently - they are extremely thorough. We don't actually have "death panels" and shoddy government-run healthcare like many 'mericans have heard.
What sucks though is that while we take our 99% healthy guy to Sick Kids, I always see parents and children with real problems. Saw a dude in the elevator once with his kid in the stroller who obviously had some serious brain and other developmental deficiencies. He was proud as hell though - "we're heading home for the first time today. 2 and a half years we've been in here". Despite all the crap that this guy and his kid had been through, he was the happiest guy on the planet at that exact moment.
Makes you think, that's all.
