Emilia is going to be okay. Last week was full of worry – she was so sick, and in pain, and doctors could only guess that it was something either totally mundane or wholly terrible and all we could do was keep her comfortable and watch and wait to see if the scariest symptoms would worsen or abate – so full of worry and fear and all those bad things and I could not write (I would not, I should not? The distinction became unclear) and all there was to do was wait.
So we waited. And the symptoms abated over the weekend and the light came back into her eyes and so into ours and phew.
Now I just need to give my head and heart a shake and repeat to myself like a mantra: life is good the world is good things are GOOD. And maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to write again.

I spent all last week trying to avoid the awful topic that haunted the blogosphere, and you probably couldn’t avoid thinking about it. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m so glad that she is ok.
oh that is so scary! glad emilia is okay!
So very glad for your daughter and you and your whole family!
Oh Jaysus, glad all is well. The world is a glass that’s half fucking full – keep telling yourself. It’s the only way to keep on keeping on sometimes.
I’m so, so glad. And relieved.
So glad to hear. went through a similar thing with my little man recently and know the fear and the utter frustration of not being able to make everything all right. I’ve been checking for updates and am glad to see one with good news.
Very glad things are okay(ish). Hope to hear soon that she’s completely well!
so glad your little girl is feeling better. so sorry you had to go through that!
take good care,

missed you. glad things are better.
so glad!
I cannot begin to imagine how difficult this experience was for you. I’m so glad to hear that your daughter is doing well now. Thinking of and praying for you and your family.
So glad to hear that Emilia is doing better…that was quite a worry you must be exhausted…
Very glad your daughter is well. And that I haven’t missed much of your writing during a week when I was also out of the loop . . . . Did you find out what caused Emilia’s illness?
Eva – we don`t know. the fear was that it was meningitis, which it turned out not to be, thankfully.
so, so glad it wasn’t Something Awful. my heart was pounding as I read and I don’t even -know- you. but that fear is something moms know.
I don’t mean that as pretentiously as it sounds as I read back.
meh.
yes yes, glad about your daughter….
holy MARY MOTHER OF GOD ON A PONY!!! how did i miss the video of your son in a tutu dancing in his dancy thing??!! he’s obviously happy. and will have no recollection of this aside from being happy, until you show it to his first grade class. that’s where the damage would begin, i think.
but that’s me. and i don’t have any kids. and if/when i do… and if it’s a boy? totally dressing him up in a tutu.
