Holy cow! I had no idea so many of you would actually come check this out! Several people have written me in emails and asked for mailing info for Jasmine. The best bet would probably be to send cards and letters to Jeff at Ronald McDonald House, and he can take them in to her. … Continue reading Stormy Weather

Sad
A whirlwind came with the snow last night -- it was Jeff and a ritual. He showed up at about 7:15 with dinner from China Star. We sat and I ate my honey sesame chicken while he ate garlic chicken -- I had to have at least a bite of the broccoli so that later, … Continue reading Sad
Kitty Krack
My cat is addicted to the tv. She thinks it's better than catnip. When her favorite show comes on (she's particularly fond of Connie the Cow, but any preschool show will do), she rushes over to crouch in front of the tv, eyes glued to the screen as if little fishies were going to drop … Continue reading Kitty Krack
And Now For Something Completely Diff’rent
I am now on the third attempt at this diary entry. If I don't get it posted this time, it will be lost forever. I suppose I could be smart and start composing in Word so there are more recovery options, but that seems like extra work. Ahem. Anyway. Now that the spontaneity of this … Continue reading And Now For Something Completely Diff’rent
Update on Jasmine
Just a quick update. Jasmine is doing better these past few days. Still no idea what made her this way, still on lots of oxygen, still in ICU. No word on when she'll be out and what life will be like after this (i.e. whether she'll make a full recovery and be like she was … Continue reading Update on Jasmine
…
She's back in ICU, apparently having had a hard time breathing last night. She's on some kind of half-way ventilator and they still don't know what's wrong, other than that it's not rejection. I am going to St. Louis today. I can't live with second guessing anymore. If anyone wants to call, Jeff has the … Continue reading …
Out of ICU
Jasmine is out of ICU and back on her regular ward. The doctors still haven't shared with us what the problem is -- though they may not know yet. At any rate, if they've moved her out to the floor, it's because she's out of any immediate danger. More confirmation from the doctors today that … Continue reading Out of ICU
Dragonfly Wings
Jasmine is back in the hospital in ICU. This time was BAD. Last night at about 2 I felt like I needed to come check on her. This was after she had slept for two days straight. My hands started tingling and I knew I needed to come out and touch her. As soon as … Continue reading Dragonfly Wings
Just Me and My Shadow
So part of my problem is that I'm simultaneously excited about going back to Arizona and sad about leaving Bloomington. My friend Rowan, who made this move almost two years ago, tells me that's just the way it's going to be -- yucky. I really don't like that answer. 😉 I'm anticipating the community building … Continue reading Just Me and My Shadow
The St. Louis Epiphany
I keep saying I'm going to write about this move thing, and it keeps getting pushed back. I do have some legitimate reasons, mostly pertaining to Jasmine being in the hospital in St. Louis with Jeff, while I'm here in Bloomington with Nina and Gabrielle. That Jeff and Jasmine are again in St. Louis while … Continue reading The St. Louis Epiphany
