Double Kennedy: June 2009
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. I haven't been up to writing these past few days. We've been through so much emotionally that there is no way to encapsulate it in a blog posting. I wish I had the gifts of a writer like Joan Didion. And so, with apologies to Kenny Powers, so begins Chapter 2: The Next Chapter. Or: Life In The NICU. . I hope to write a more comprehensive account of Alex's story soon. Sometimes my thoughts run away from me on this blog. But eff it, it's therapy. Thanks for reading. A few hours late...

Double Kennedy: May 2009
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. A small, tentative sigh of relief. But Kris just called to tell me that today's session has actually revealed our first bit of good news in many weeks. The mass in Mr A's chest is the same size as it was last week, while Mr. A himself has grown! We're not out of this yet, friends, but this day just got a whole lot sunnier for the Kennedys. I can say that I believe with all my heart that all your love, thoughts, prayers, vibes (whatever you want to call it) have played a major ...

Double Kennedy: Parenting, Chapter 1
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009/09/parenting-chapter-1.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. Parenting, Chapter 1. But I'm getting ahead of myself. One thing that always annoyed me when I told folks we were having a baby is when other parents would curl their lip in malevolent glee and sneer "oh? But, it is monitoring our boy in case any thing does go wrong, so I can't hate it too much. Once he doesn't need it (4 weeks maybe) I'd love to throw it off the Ben Franklin, but I'm sure my insurance company would frown on that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Double Kennedy: Here Comes The Son
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009/09/here-comes-son.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Here Comes The Son. Friends. This is the post I've been longing to write for months now. Alexander Owen Kennedy was discharged from the hospital today and is currently snuggling in his mother's arms on our couch, in our home. We are finally a proper family. My emotional state is currently going bonkers, so I won't write too much about this right now. Suffice to say we couldn't be happier. I love Alex, I love Kris, and I love you for taking the time to read this blog. Double...

Double Kennedy: Still waiting...
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009/09/still-waiting.html
Tuesday, September 15, 2009. You know that old bit where some prankster attaches a dollar bill to an invisible filament and leaves it just lying there on the sidewalk? And when an unsuspecting victim leans down to retrieve said dollar, the prankster yanks it a few feet out of reach; poor victim shuffles towards it, leans down again, and the bill is once again yanked out of reach. Repeat. Hilarity. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Doublekennedy (at) plottwist (dot) com. The Other Side Of The Story.

Double Kennedy: Hitting The Wall

Sunday, August 9, 2009. Another boondoggle is the fact that he shows strangely high levels of white blood cells every ten days or so. Because elevated white blood cells can mean infection, the doctors run him through the traditional course of treatment for sepsis, meaning he gets a broad spectrum antibiotic delivered via IV. However, every time this has happened (3 or 4 times so far? August 11, 2009 at 11:57 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Doublekennedy (at) plottwist (dot) com.

Double Kennedy: August 2009

Monday, August 24, 2009. You Were Only Waiting For This Moment to Arrive. Just a quick status update and some pics today.I'm too tired to write! What was once unfathomable is now becoming quite real. The house is ready and waiting for him! He does not, however, seem to like Barber, Britten or the Books. We're going to have to work on that. Thursday, August 13, 2009. Sunday, August 9, 2009.

Double Kennedy: Limbo Summer
http://doublekennedy.blogspot.com/2009/09/limbo-summer.html
Thursday, September 10, 2009. Apologies for those coming here in search of updates on AOK. I haven't had much time or energy to write recently. Football season has been gearing up (starts tonight! Kris just sent me a text saying that Alex is getting his car seat test today and if he passes it, he will be coming home this weekend! Could this be it? The end of one long road and the beginning of a much, MUCH longer one? The mind reels. To be continued. September 10, 2009 at 5:08 PM. Parenting, Chapter 1.
