Camped out in a hospital 18x7x180 hoping to keep my kid alive. (Not quite yet but in one month and 5 days it will have been 5 years and she will be 5 years old.) We're going to have one righteous party to celebrate the life that is in that child. Funny this question would come up. My wife today just asked me what we should do for the big 05 for the tiny little rat. Then tonight the tiny little rat points at all the scars on her stomach and asks me what each one was for... What a ride... My gosh...:)

Not to put to much of dampner on things but my father died five years ago today. I was not a happy camper. On a lighter note it got me thinking about the things I have dome and achieved in these last five years and I'm kind of proud of myself

Yeah, his disappearance has been a mystery.

Yeah, if they could make sense of anyone on this planet, it'd be Colin.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine in 1998. I kind of feel the same way in that I feel proud--like if he we're looking down I know he'd approve. It's funny how we want that even after our parents pass.
Its one of those weird things. In theory every day is an anniversary of that event, even every moment is, but its only because of our calendar and our fixation on the base 10 number system that today has any real significance. I'll be going out to dinner tonight with my lovely girl friend and my mother to mark the occasion My dad had more infulence on the person I am today than anyone else has or ever will and I have to laugh at myself occasionally because I see so much of him in myself.

exactly 5 years ago today, I started my divorce. five years ago last week, I was dying without hope, with a wife overjoyed to play the widow, worrying only about getting the life insurance and thankful it would pay off her debt. Five years ago, I started living again, my fever broke, they upgraded my medical status, and there was a slim chance I would live. Five years ago this week, I started living again, or perhaps, I started living for the first time. :)

Legally, or do you mean the mental decision?

Wow. I don't know if to congratulate you, bless you or what. I'm sure that had to be hell for your family. I'm really glad of the outcome. Is she doing well overall now or does she have long term problems? (If you don't mind me asking...)
Oh that's a bit of a tale. Almost a whale of a tale. The life threatening part of the journey lasted 3 years. We made it over that hump and so far things are good. She's in public school now though so that's a big unknown. As a family we all went and got shots for all matter of things yesterday for her sake. She has a feeding tube that we use to provide the critical care through. She can eat normally but her diet is very strict. She has a diabetic diet of sorts but way more strict and just as punishing if she doesn't adhere to it. Her condition is beyond complex in terms of long term recovery and right now we have way more questions than we do answers. We took a year off of trying to make progress on her condition because it's consuming work that requires tons of reading, research and time with specialists. We pick that torch back up on 12-23 with a doctor of hers we haven't seen for 2 years. He's a specialist in pediatric GI stuff. I doubt he'll have answers but we're hoping he'll have clues. We'll then assemble those clues and build a bigger picture as we move from specialist to specialist. Here is a story that took her up to about 18 months old. http://www.pediatricparents.com/Katie.htm[^] that's a site I someday hope to dedicate to helping parents like us but right now it's in bad shape. There used to be a lot more to it but a lot of life happened between when it was and where it is now. That only tells about 1/2 the story but it explains the what/how/why of things with her. Now we are trying to comprehend extensive damage to her small bowel in the nerves and the supporting systems of digestion. Long road, lots of theory.

It was a wild conversation for me. I tried to not get emotional but I also had to laugh out loud at some of the crazy parts. She loved all of it because at almost 5 it's still about a different person to her. She is more interested in the story itself and not so much that it involved her.
