doc_destructoOn December 22 of 2002, after 16 hours of labor, my wife gave birth to a small boy of 5 lbs 14.5 ozs and 19″. I knew he was destined to be the end of me since he began experiencing respiratory problems shortly after birth due to a heart valve not closing properly. After nine days at UK’s NICU, he came home for the New Year.
Ever obstinate, four weeks later he developed pyloric stenosis. Now, one might be led to believe I had a hand in such, but considering the doctor could not tell if I was a first-born, white male at first glance, I deny everything!
Still, it seems even in spite of ourselves, Little Dude has been an overall joy these now six years. A very weird joy, but still one nonetheless. Though I suspect it’s all part of his plot… yes…
