  1. A beautiful and sobering essay. Like a commenter, I am thinking of all the babies there who need extra care..after taking Ever home and using the nebulizer... it's so scary to need anything 'extra' when disaster strikes

  2. The essay's last line really speaks to a grim existential dilemma of many special needs parents.
