The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Of Sickness

May 28, 2014 by Sara 1 Comment

It's 7 at night. I'm in bed. Fresh sheets and a bath. My mom always said nothing makes you feel better than that combo and she was right. We've had a crappy couple months in the sick department. Nothing tragic or serious but just a constant trail. I had the flu/laryngitis before Jamaica. Will … [Read more...]

A Belly Full of Poison

March 26, 2014 by Kath 6 Comments

Acute appendicitis is very common. In fact, it's the most commonly encountered disease in emergency clinics with about 250,000 appendectomies performed in the United States each year. Actually, "appies" (as the hospital staff refer to them) are so common that there's even a joke about them: Q: … [Read more...]

Surprise! That Time My Child Almost Died

March 19, 2014 by Kath 14 Comments

It all started with a tummy ache. Not a terribly bad tummy ache -- enough to miss school -- but not enough to worry me just yet. A little later on, I turned to Facebook for advice instead of commiseration: At this point, everyone (myself included) thought she was the victim of a … [Read more...]

What to pack in your hospital bag

June 23, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

I am full-term and ready to pop any moment. The last few days I've felt like labour was imminent so I responsibly packed my hospital bag this morning. I neglected to do this the first time-round with L'il E and sorely regretted it as I threw random items into a bag between intense contractions. … [Read more...]

The Story of Rory (I’m a poet and didn’t even realize it)

April 19, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

My first blog was about the birth of my son Travis, so to make things fair; I thought my second should be about the birth of my wee-man Rory. The differences between the two births were drastic. Travis was old school: water broke, went to the hospital, wife did majority... ok, all of the work, and … [Read more...]

Dem Bones

Something is wrong with my kids' bones. Really. When she was only three, my youngest broke her arm at summer camp, and then her leg while skiing with the family. And last night, my older daughter broke her arm. While tobogganing. And I wasn't even there!So yeah, you can just call me fracturemom. … [Read more...]

The Calm

January 17, 2009 by Jen

December was a whirlwind of family visits, outdoor play, and heart-to-heart chats. Days filled with family and festivities. Pure joy! The months before were filled with fear, dread, and sadness. Our realities thrown off kilter, barely able to hold it together. But January is the strangest of all. It … [Read more...]

She’s here!

April 15, 2008 by Jen

Our little angel arrived late Thursday night, after a long wait (she was a week overdue)!  With much pomp and circumstance she made her entrance into Mount Sinai Hospital with panache!  I'm enjoying every delicate, rosebud moment with our princess and can't get enough of her delicious … [Read more...]

And then life happened

January 28, 2008 by Jen

Today was supposed to be my first day of the Isagenix cleanse. I was going to start along with Kath and her hubby but, as it often does, life had other ideas. On Friday afternoon I took my sick little girl into the emergency at Sick Kids referred by our local walk-in clinic. I wasn't too concerned … [Read more...]
