Typist goes AWOL
Cats: odd things|6 comments from giftedtypist.blogspot.com
Due to a combination of circumstances, this typist went AWOL yesterday. This blog and its readers were completely ignored for the entire day with no explanation until now.
Early yesterday morning, one of the young typists was rushed to hospital with a mysterious and potentially serious condition. There were tests on blood, lymph nodes, mobility and other things. There were X-rays, radioactive isotopes swallowed and then gamma rays. There were doctors, specialists, nurses and nuclear (!) medicine technicians and nice people who came around to make sure we were comfortable. There were looks of concern from professionals and at times frightening body language.
And there were hours of waiting for results in small windowless rooms on a beautiful sunny spring day, a day the little typist should have been out playing because there was no school.
In the end, there was happiness and relief. The worst was ruled out. The little typist has a problem but he will be OK.
The keyboard also had a problem - water was spilled on it by the other little typist. But that didn’t rate yesterday. Nothing else rated yesterday.

I can almost feel the intensity - what a horrible feeling when one’s kid is sick - we wish to assume all the pains and problems ourselves. I hope everything works out perfectly.
Cheers,
John

We were through many of the same departments at the IWK just this past summer with a son who ended up diagnosed with a very rare growth compressing his brain. He was lucky & all is well now, but the waiting & not knowing make it seem like time is standing still (in this case all summer before he was finally sent to the IWK by Ambulance). The IWK staff are fantastic, absolutely wonderful people. Hope all goes well with your little typist.

Thank you Jenn. All is well now. Makes you think about those who are not as lucky
