Sniff, sniff...

A few posts ago, I mentioned the Boy Meets World phase we've been in here in the ABC123 household. I came home from work today and started relaxing on the couch, drinking my hot tea and taking care of some Scentsy business. I flip on today's DVR'd episode, and it's about Cory's baby brother. I don't remember why, but the baby was born prematurely, so he's really small and has some kind of infection.

Ugggggggghhhhhh. Half the episode takes places in the NICU, with all the other parents and all their sick babies. Here I sit, BAWLING my eyes out. It's so sad. I know it's just a TV show, but it makes me feel so sad for all the people that live that way every day, and it's not just a TV show. I can't even imagine that...

It makes me say a little prayer of thanks for my healthy neice and nephew, and all the other healthy kids that are important in my life. I hope all the people I love are spared from ever knowing what that's like.

OH--update on my sister, as of yesterday. The doctor got her results back and ruled out multiple sclerosis, lymphoma, and scleroderma. Some good news for her--yay! The doctor told her that there's no test FOR lupus, just tests to rule out all the other things that are LIKE lupus. He told her that they're narrowing the possibilities and to "hang in there and stay positive." I just hope he doesn't go dragging his feet. Lupus can, and does, attack major organs if left untreated.
