Our Child: The Anomaly

G. Simrak — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:49:28 +0000

On Tuesday night, Cohen came down with a fever. A real fever this time. I say that because since November, his temp will go up as high as 100.8 then go back down to what is considered “normal.” He was cleared by infectious disease and we were told that he may just have an above [...]

Cohen has an Allergy

G. Simrak — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 04:26:27 +0000

Our visit yesterday to the allergist was extremely helpful and informative. We were there for 4 hours but it was well worth it and the older boys did marvelously. Dr. Pawlowski took time to hear my story and my concerns starting from birth. He took time to explain things [...]

Today is a big day for Cohen: he got his feeding tube in and will begin to see what it’s like to have a full tummy! Of course they are easing him into the new sensation. He will be under close observation to see how he tolerates it. [...]

CHOP – Day 2

G. Simrak — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 05:49:32 +0000

Today was a bit of a whirlwind. But I am so thankful to be at the leading Children’s Hospital in the country. They are so good here. Everyone is so kind. Comfort and respect seem to be on the priority list here. It’s very easy to make friends when they are [...]

Cohen’s Second Adventure Part 1

Yesterday morning Geniene received a call from Cohen's doctor saying that she should bring Cohen in to CHOP.

This guy never ceases to surprise. He recently bought this accordion at a yard sale. I wonder if we could rent him out for parties.
