It's Trisomy 21 - aka Down's Syndrome. It's not known yet whether it's medically viable. Likely not. Go to the specialist on the 17th (I was wrong, not the 14th). Thanks to everyone who's kept me/us in your thoughts. -

a recap of the last few days
wow - the last few days have been better than I expected! I've spent a lot of time being kinda social which has felt surprisingly good. For a few days, I just wanted to crawl in my hole and hide (and did that), but I forced myself out for the holiday. Thanks so much to all the peeps who knew exactly what I needed. It was great hanging out with ( Read more... ) -

*cough* *wheeze*

i'm confused...
Ok, so I got to see Golden Compass early - Savoy had some crazy sneak preview/showing that I lucked into. I have not read the books - I had never heard about this story, so I went into it totally blind. I *loved* the movie. I thought it was visually stunning at times, the plot was mostly interesting, and I hung on every plot twist. Now, granted ( Read more... ) -

Even had to do one solo because we were working on one and had 3 more waiting.
