Easter Tinks


Things went a little nutty last week and the blog suffered. Again. Sorry, blog. Better late than never?

 Last weekend, the Tinks came to visit and we all went out for lunch to celebrate the long weekend and two birthday goddesses: my mother and my sister.

First, as is traditional, The Boy was covered in Tinks in 1.2 nanoseconds.



We thought this more appropriate for Palm Sunday, actually

Muffin was shocked

Morgan's getting a lot of joy out of her camera

while Liam had an intense discussion with my sister about life, the universe and everything

Then off we went to a local pub for lunch. You can tell Spring is here by the patio preparations. Which naturally meant a petting zoo for children (here impersonating chickens)

At lunch, Liam and Scott got into a staring contest.

Words.... must... read... words...

Joint inflammation or contractures. Nodules (small lumps under the skin or in other tissues). A weakened or hoarse voice. Children with these symptoms may have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other types of juvenile arthritis . But do they actually have JIA or do they have Farber’s disease? An equine digression When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. This is an adage in the medical world that encourages doctors to not wander off exploring rare and esoteric reasons for a patient’s symptoms. Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had
