6 years ago yesterday

I was hooked up to wires and machines, and I had tubes and bags hooked up to me. I couldn't move, I had a huge opening running down my middle and I felt like a truck had hit me. Hard. People kept coming into my room every few minutes, prodding, poking, and just generally bothering me. Morphine was just an acquaintance- not my friend. My baby was in a glass box being watched for God knows what- little wires and sticky things everywhere.
I just hoped to beat the odds-or to live long enough for him to remember me- and not just in pictures.

Well, yesterday was his 6th birthday. I'm fine (knock on wood)  and so is he. He grew into his enormous head- and the seizure that a nurses aide thought she saw him have has never been seen again.

He had his first recital last night
and he's not a baby anymore.

Max says " I had a good birthday, thank you "

He had two birthdays- one on Monday with the family and then the one on Tuesday (his real birthday) and his singing thingy.....
