Really the first thing I need to talk about is my daughter. Not just because she's the most important thing going on in my life right now, but also I suspect she's the reason some of you are part of this mailing. In summary: "It was scary, but she's okay now," however I'm going to start from the beginning, just so everyone knows where we came from here.
Alexandria Rose was born December 27th, 2011. Delivered into this world via c-section the year Philly had no winter, she arrived with ten and ten, with a shock of blonde hair that can't stay calm. She was also diagnosed with Tricuspid atresia, a rare type of heart disease that is present at birth, in which the tricuspid heart valve is missing or abnormally developed. The defect blocks blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.
Normally this is fixed in children with two surgeries, one that happens pretty early, and another that happens a few years later. However, as anything that is going to be my goddamned loin fruit, there are going to be difficulties. Because life is never easy for those that dare come near me.
The rest of the story can be found here. If you don't have access, e-mail me and I'll let you in.
