    i fell asleep before finishing this post. It was a long day.
    but i looked at this photograph of a tiny life in a HUGE hospital.
    I know the hospital. It’s the Navy Medical Complex in San Diego. It’s where Julian was born. I was there for his birth.
    i watched the precision of their Care.
    in this case, it would be more. Things were at stake.
    What i wanted to say,
    this young mother, who would would guess? 21 years. strapping young woman, strong, full of joy for him. Pre eclampsia.
    and i thought about all the back and forth about medical care.
    which i do not ever so far, knock on wood, avail myself of, so
    nothing personal,
    but medical care…we read so much about
    if she were in some rural part of say Appalachia, chances are she might die. Ezra would never get a chance to be Ezra. No story.
    high blood pressure. unknown cause.
    Ezra is here. in the pic you see his fingers and his Father’s.
    Extreme Care is being given. No one should be given less.

    This happened to Charlie’s mom..for no apparent reason. Caused him to be carved out of her a month early. Both at risk before that decision. I remember being afraid for both, she, chosen by my son, he who I didn’t even know yet. Breath holding days on end.

    they both got to hold him a couple days ago. Now they
    cannot. They’ve sent her home.
    His mother lived with Alyssia from age 15 to 19.
    Alyssia travels down to San Diego today to meet Ezra,
    be with his mother. Breath holding days. yes.
