This week Hulk­man (HM) has been stay­ing with us. While the boys are home for Spring Break. While I still have to work. Did I tell you he brought his dog, mak­ing our dog count to 4? Inside the house? *insert over­sized smile with bulging eyes* It was a lit­tle nuts yesterday…ok a whole lot of […]

I just got off the phone with Hulkman…again.  That was call num­ber 4 within the last hour. I love my brother dearly, but there are days that I would like to ring his scrawny lit­tle neck.  We have this “thing” where as soon as Mum and Dad leave for errands, he calls me to chat. […]

I for­got I had this pic­ture.  I find it par­tic­u­larly funny, because I wasn’t much of a doll/barbie kind of girl, but I got that extra-long-haired bar­bie so I could “do her ‘do”.  I was com­pletely fas­ci­nated with french braids!  This pic­ture also explains a lit­tle why I call my “heart-twin” Hulk­man.  Every year, grow­ing up […]

We still haven’t got­ten the results of the biopsies…guess it takes awhile for those suckers […]

Too tired to write much.  Sun­day am, Hulk­man was admit­ted into the hos­pi­tal for inter­nal bleed­ing.  He had an endo­scope done this morn­ing.  They found an ulcer in his stom­ach and biop­sied it.  They also found some kind of infec­tion down his esophogus so they biop­sied that as well.  Still no results as of tonight.  […]

Just a pre-cursor: Seri­ous and vul­ner­a­ble post. I’ve really only had 2 major, feeling-feint fears most of my life. One — I will never talk about. But the other is los­ing my brother, Hulk­man. Most of you know about my twin — born 5 years before me. Hulk­man is my brother who has Down Syn­drome. I’ve written […]
