Yesterday my daughter called for a health status update on her grandmother. In the course of the conversation, she told me that her friend's mother, our neighbor, has been diagnosed with leukemia. It is a common form, but very aggresive, so she is in the hospital for six weeks for daily chemo. On another sad note, I met the mother of a 5 month old infant who is on life support. I have never heard of this but her blood was draining into the baby's lungs in utero, and he was drowning. The baby had a discharge date from the hospital. It was postponed as he developed pneumonia. She has five other children, 18, 16, 12, 10 and 2 years old. This reminds me of the story that if everyone threw their shoes with their problems into a big pile, and had the option to choose different problem shoes, they would chose to take their own shoes back.
My husband, son and I went to the Japanese restaurant. We sat at a hibachi grill and enjoyed a meal of edemame, clear soup, salad, and fried rice and seafood...hot tea to drink. It is always amazing to watch the artistry of the chef.
