Go read this because it says so much about the assumptions that go into the stupid questions that people ask.
Including questions like, "So, now that your son isn't in the hospital, aren't you going to take down all these pictures of when he was? Because, I mean, they're just so traumatic!"
No....I am not taking them down anytime soon....though I supposed I'm running out of wall space and need to condense a bit when I print new pics.
I'm sorry, but if your doctor says you can take the baby off the oxygen, and you won't try it because you think they might stop breathing, you need some brains and some medication.
And maybe some therapy.
Especially if you're scared to take said child out of the house, even to the park, during summer, because you think they might get sick and die.
I realize that there are points where I'm overprotective, and maybe a little overly panicky about Alexander....but I realize once in a while that I'm not that bad off.
Further: If you're super super worried about your kid getting their tonsils out, having ear tubes put in, or any other 'routine' surgery like this, please STFU and go bitch to someone else. I don't want to hear it.
