Yesterday, once again we woke up at the crack of dawn (actually it was still pitch black out) and headed down to Sick Kids for round two of laser treatment on her hemangioma.

Are You Going To Die?
"Are you going to die?" This from my four-year old, almost asleep in his car seat, last night. On the weekend, he started asking me questions about my mom.
