available computer the day we left. Tell Clio and Elsa I have some great books for them which I’ll send tomorrow. Do they already have Silverstien’s Where the Sidewalk Ends? ( I think that’s the name) His poems are a riot and I think the girls will love them.

I’m so sad that Clio and her family are going through such hell. Is it all because of that errant chromosome? I know

the only thing that helps is the knowledge that she’ll be OK when it all ends. Give Joyce and Peter my best wishes. Thank goodness you have your family nearby to give you a hand. Hug the girls for me and I hope to hear better news soon. Mimi

Was just going to suggest Make-A-Wish-Foundation. I’m a pediatric medical social worker and Make-A-Wish does amazing things. I’ve been following your blogs for a while since Peter (Everett, my husband) told me about your blog about raising twins (we don’t have twins, but a 2 yr old daughter). Professionally I’ve been on the front lines with families like you through many many diagnoses and hospital stays and roller coasters, but personally, as a mom, that goes out the window the second your own kid is sick. I was so sorry to hear about Clio getting sick. Truly heartbreaking to read about, even if you are doing ‘ok’ through some parts of it. I hope you’ve met the unit social worker by now–i assume you have. Take care–we’ll all keep reading to keep you company during this hard time.

I just finished your book. I’m the father of 9-1/2 month old twin girls. I suffer from depression. I live in Boston. I’m so sad to hear about your daughter. I wish I could help. I hope she recovers soon.
