Today Blas came home from the hospital, a day early, with some dramatic stitches but a clean bill of health from the neurosurgeons. He was admitted for emergency surgery last Wednesday to have a blood clot removed from the space between his skull and the membrane surrounding the brain (to be technical, a sub-acute subdural hematoma). He received the best of care. We are so grateful for the skill and kindness of all the people who took care of him, to our friends and family for their support and good wishes, to the amazing power of the human body to heal. We have always been keenly aware of our good fortune as a family. Even more so today, I am grateful to have Blas in my life.
