Let me be unequivocal about the fact that I believe any woman should be able to choose abortion for any reason whatsoever. I certainly did not intend for yesterday’s post to imply that some women are more “deserving” or at least less condemnable than others for making make this choice. We do not need to divide women into […]

I didn’t know George Tiller, but I know quite a few people who did. And they speak of him with nothing but the greatest respect and admiration. George Tiller, for those of you who haven’t seen a newspaper this week, is the abortion provider who was shot and killed on Sunday in his Kansas church by a […]

Perhaps you may be wondering how my little guy is … you know, the reason you all started reading in the first place. Well, at this moment, he’s trying out a variety of brooms and mops and swiffers on the kitchen floor (not as helpful as it sounds) while naked. So, all in all, he’s great. […]
For The Rest of My Days My husband Mark and I left a cold and snowy Cleveland on Sunday morning to fly to Washington DC, our first solo trip since the birth, cancer diagnosis, near death and remarkable recovery of our second son, Austin. Once on the plane, it was clear that we were a […]

Austin had his follow-up appointment with the surgeon today, a quick ten-minute look at his belly after a two hour wait. Lovely, yes? But the doctor had been in surgery so I can’t exactly complain about him taking his time there and not with us. He thought Austin looked fabulous and was healing beautifully. He […]
My first published essay is in this month’s Diabetes Forecast, a magazine distributed by the American Diabetes Association for people living with diabetes. (I once saw it described online as a magazine for people “suffering from diabetes,” but that is thankfully not the official line.) I’ve been checking their website for the past week, waiting for the May issue to hit the […]

A few hours after I posted that cute story about Austin declaring himself “all done” with treatment, I got the dreaded call from Jeff saying that the doctors at St Judes did indeed recommend radiation. He still wasn’t sold on the idea, but thought we should set up a meeting with the pediatric radiation oncologist […]
April 22, 1986 was a Tuesday. I had just finished last period gym class and was in the locker room with my 7th grade gang of girlfriends deciding whose house to go to after school. This decision usually involved three factors: whose house followed the same walking route as wherever our gang of boyfriends was […]
