March 28, 2023: 9 months

Wednesday, March 29, 2023 · by kathy howe

9 months ago today at around this time I called LPCH advice nurse, described to her what Sam was experiencing, and asked if he needed to be seen that evening or if we could wait and see Sam’s regular pediatrician at 2 pm the next day (he had a standing appointment already scheduled to check in re. Another medication that he takes (this appointment had gotten pushed back as he’d spent the preceding 3 weeks at Camp CAMP in the Texas Hill Country.

She told me that we should go to ER at Stanford right away.

Tomorrow starts a new chapter!

I remember you telling me this story and it bringing me to my knees. Like, "No, do not wait until tomorrow to be seen, pls bring him to the ER immediately." Gawd. And you did it...and you're doing it...all. Nothing can stop this family!

This just gives me the chills. You could have never imagined the course your family would have to navigate, but I still love Sam's "I'm almost not sick".
