Saturday, May 27th I will start today’s trip report with a quote from Helen Keller: “Grief can’t be shared, Everyone carries it alone, his own burden, his own way.” And this is how the day went for my darling little Granuaile. We realized on our trip from the parking lot into EPCOT center this morning,…

Friday, May 26th The Streak Is Alive! On each of my last three trips to Disney, someone has gotten sick. I was tempted to keep all three of my kids in a plastic bubble in the weeks before this trip to keep them from getting ill, but the thought of cleaning the fingerprints off of…

I had not heard from Wanda, so I phoned expecting bad news. She said she phoned my insurance company and they told her they will send a form for her to fill out. They did not indicate to her what they required except filling out the form. She is hoping the form doesn’t ask for…

I met with Dr. Michael Nusbaum. He was informative, personable, and seems to really know his stuff. I like that he is my age – it means he’s old enough not to still be “in training” and young enough to still be learning. Wanda, who is the coordinator, will be phoning my insurance company to…

It is 9 AM, April 16th, 2006. Exactly one year ago at this time, I was sitting in a room with my husband and my stepmother. I had already been stuck 6 times while they tried to get an IV started. Apparently, I am an awful stick. The first attempt went clear through the vein,…

So Eilis has nightmares. She’s been telling me for a couple of weeks that she has them, and since Eilis is a night owl and hates to go to bed, I’ve been dismissing them as her way to avoid bedtime, but I have been letting her sleep in Brighid’s room.Last night, during a psychic reading,…

When I took Eilis for her well baby check up at 18 months old, I told the doctor I was worried because she wasn’t speaking as well as Brighid did by that time. He asked me a few questions about how many words she said and things like that, and he agreed that she was…
