I'm so glad your kids are okay! I have had that same thought recently: there's so much that repels me about "breakthroughs" in medical science (no, I don't think creating fifteen babies in petri dishes and killing the ones more likely to have genetic defects is a good thing!) and yet, thank the Lord for modern medicine! If my son hadn't been rushed to the NICU after birth (from swallowing poop during delivery) he wouldn't have had oxygen to his brain and he would have never have been able to learn to talk or walk, if he even lived. It's overwhelming to think about; I'm so grateful. And so many of my friends' children could have died in delivery, but now because of the NICU, they're happy, healthy, growing kids!
(I've been singing the Wicked soundtrack for over twenty years! I look forward to seeing part two!)
Amen to that! I’ve heard that even though chronic disease in the US is terrible, this is the best place to be when you need emergency care. Definitely something to be grateful for!

Thanks for the book suggestion! I just requested "Happiness for Beginners" from the library.
It's lovely! As are How to Walk Away, Hello, Stranger, What You Wish For...They're all worth reading!
