Today was a day we had been wanting to get to, or at least out of the way. Noah needed to have a biopsy on the bone near his right ankle. It has been swollen in a lump since last April. A summer of ultra sounds, x-rays and blood work have led to the need for a biopsy. This is the 4th time in Noah’s 10 years we put him out for a procedure. Most of these in the last 3 years. I have such PTSD about this since a major hospitalization in 2009 in which he was under for 11 days allowing a machine to do his breathing for him. But Noah informed me today, “going under is so cool.” He takes all of this in stride, he is amazing. I am so proud of him. He has been through so much,I would buy him a leer jet if he asked for one (and I could afford one). His request was B.A.M. (Books a Million). Unfortunately, they moved to a location half it’s previous size. They somehow managed to not continue to carry all of the things Noah wants to go there for. Yes, I would buy the store and make them carry what he wants. He earned it. We went to Liam’s requested destination, Best Buy. There is a graphics card that Noah wants. I would love to get it for him, but it is $200,his computer really couldn’t handle it either.I would need to buy him a computer too. It’s a slippery slope. I hope some day Noah will know how much I admire his bravery and how proud I am of him. One more stop before we left the upper valley, the Asian grocery. When we got home, he said he would love potstickers. I did not have everything I needed to make them, but I realized if I did have everything, I am really fried tonight. As Noah’s father, I have stayed awake to see him through so many nights. I have read “Are You My Mother” a hundred times in 21 days.I am nothing though. Well, nothing but ever thankful to be his Dad.
