The weird world of the digital era

Shutterfly sends these "lovely" memories periodically. This is what I got today:

Yes, I do remember that EEG, and no, I don't really need to relive it, but here we are...that was either Reuben's third or fourth EEG (electroencephalogram), and was done because we were still, over a year into it, nowhere near figuring out why he was having so many seizures AND  why his seizures were changing. It was right after this test, from which we learned nothing useful, that his neurologist suggested we do genetic testing and we learned that Reuben had ring (20) chromosome syndrome. So, yes, I do remember that time from eight years ago!

The other two that regularly come up over the course of the year are the ones from the week Matt's dad died and the ones from Reuben's initial hospitalization/epilepsy diagnosis. You realize that a computer is no substitute for the mind of a real, caring human being! 😀
