June 13, 2015, Part 2 I immediately called Joel when we left the clinic and got in the car. He was getting ready to do some projects around the house and had left his phone in the house. I called him repeatedly and left text messages, but he wasn’t answering. I had to talk to… Continue reading Off to the emergency room.
June 13, 2015, Part 1 Luke woke up feeling worse than he ever has. His skin is gray. His cheeks sunken in. I have never been so worried about him in my life. I called and got him an appointment at 9:00 a.m. When it was time to leave, I had him take along a… Continue reading To the doctor we go.
