Over but not done?

Today was supposed to be the day that baby Mae announced her presence to the world. Technically it still may happen but Mistress was told at her appointment this morning that they will not induce her. The pregnancy is going very well and I suppose in this instance they want the baby to stay in as long a possible. After the appointment she went to get a special massage from a friend to help relax her and push some of the building fluids around. So this pregnancy is not done yet.

I got a call today from Mighty Mo's doctor who did the sigmoidoscopy last week. The biopsy came back negative for colitis. Negative. Not there. No presence. Gone. Zero. Nada. HALLELUJAH. This is a condition that we were told was lifelong. The doctor is surprised and happy. So are we.

Tomorrow will be the first day since the day he was born that he will take no prescription medication. He will have to take an over the counter liquid to lubricate his bowels but we don't need a script for it. For now, it is OVER.


Its been 5 years and 10 months that I have prayed daily for this happen. I have often said and written that, "If someone can hold onto a dream for five years it will become a reality, but most people can't hold onto a dream for five minutes." This is an affirmation of something powerful.

You can dismiss me all you want, but those that have met Mo know, they have seen that he has a light that other people do not have. He has a gravity that pulls people towards him in a way that I have seen only one other person have and he used that power for selfish, narcissistic reasons. Mo so far has only used it for good. People he has never met, touch him like a Buddha in restaurants. People come buy and whisper kindness in his ear. We have walked by big tough guys full of bravado and importance, completely light up and interact with him when he gets close. Its infectious. Now with a clean bill of health I wonder how he will amaze me next.

Very happy to hear the news. I can't imagine how happy you must be. And perhaps the new baby already knows about being fashionably late :-)
