Asher & Edie's appointment with Dr Davis in Saskatoon.

Good news! He is surprised (again) with their labs & how well they're doing ~ apparently they're not following the textbook with their conditions. Very thankful for a good report. Follow-up in another year.

"Do your best to begin releasing your expectation around who your kids will come. Let them be their own people, even now. The sooner you can begin to let go of who you think they will be or should be, the more deeply you will enjoy the process of parenting them. Part of growing older is learning how to let go, not just of the little things but of all the things, including ourselves. Every day there's something to let go of. In the release, there is always a surprising combination of grief & joy; a curious kind of death & a new kind of life."
