As you all know my oldest is losing her tooth. It’s actually not her first, she lost her bottom two back in January. It was quick sweet and followed by lots of money from the tooth fairy. But this top front tooth wants to hang on and is literally turning gray because the roots have [...]

There’s a little yellow  box. It’s tiny and sitting next to me at my desk and it’s empty. That  front tooth wants to hang on a little while more. Plus Blue Eyes keeps saying, “No don’t put a string around it, attach it to a door and then slam it!” Where’d she get that? We’re [...]

Little Miss Blue Eyes is losing a tooth. I’m savoring the last few days of that sweet wiggly guy trying to come out. Yesterday’s runner’s high lasted all day. Though I did feel really sniffly and sneezy a few hours later. Now I’m officially sick- toxin release? Is that even possible? I’m grateful I got [...]

It’s 8:30 am here in Guam and Saturday morning. Clinic will begin soon. I’ve been up for hours. I snuck out early this morning at O dark thirty and made my way down for a 5 K run. It’s my second one I’ve ever run but I’m still working at being in shape. At 5’8″ 130 [...]

There was a time long ago when I came alive at night. Then I became a doctor. Then I had kids. And now night time is when I sleep. Except now I have joined the full time working moms of this world- for the next few weeks. It’s bronchiolitis season and the clinic is bustling. [...]

Flickr is flickering and fluttering like a struggling flame to upload my photos and I feel a tightness in my stomach. I have the photos all ready and I’ve promised to talk more of the Bali cooking school. But I can’t because I am depending on a program that isn’t functioning right. Or at least [...]

Slowly life is getting a little better. Smiling boy is pinking up. The house is getting cleaned and the papers filed. I’ve created a schedule for myself and actually put in …*gasp*… running. Last night I was talking to smiling boy about getting some soy yogurt, “Do you want Cherry or Blueberry?” “Blueberry!” “Blueberry or [...]

Can I tell you how delighted I am that my friend took these photos. As the photographer I’m not often in the pictures. I really don’t mind but it is great to see us together. Little Miss Sunshine just turned 4 this past May.  She’s my middle girl the one who sneaks in at 3:00 [...]

Here’s a glimpse of today- as best as  I can remember. 9:30- Patients trickling in but still being triaged. I’m finishing notes from yesterday. 19 charts to go. An extra  11 charts sit next to me to review.  So is a coffee cup with- no not coffee- water. Hmmm…Keeping the stories straight can be challenging.  [...]

He’s anemic. And not just a little but a lot. I started crying when I found out- No surprise there! You know what that means right? It means I’m not crazy. It means he is pale. And I can treat it. Oh happy days…
