Thinking of you all. Let us know if there's anything we can do.
Honestly, if you have some interesting longform articles that aren't paywalled, I could use something to take my mind off the present.
No clue what you're into, and the links in the "reading" folder of my bookmarks are all dead, but grabbed links to a few collections of long articles. Haven't vetted them myself.

& a couple of youtube channels which go in depth and which are long & calming.

Should have some direct links to articles come the morning. Here's hoping you have some good news by then.
The news is an asthma diagnosis, which will be very manageable now that we know about it. He should be home day after tomorrow; it's a shame he'll miss Halloween, though.
So glad it is going to be manageable.
First time I heard of asthma, it was the kid brother of my friend and he had to go to hospital a lot but that was back in the early 80s. Then I went to a new school and seemingly everyone had asthma, so I imagined they'd all be having emergencies.
Accidentally landed on your profile when trying to reply & happy to see that Violent Femmes quote :)
Safe home. As for Hallowe'en, think you've had the scariest of all time!
