Off Topic: Spousal involvement

[Guest guest]

I know Ive mentioned a few times about Drew being deployed and it

seems to happen quite often now. It made me wonder how involved your

spouses are in the babies' treatment.

When Drew's home, he tried to attend the Dr appts but mostly he ends

up hearing about it via a phone call on the way home. When he's

deployed, I take mental notes and try to get it all into one email

when I get home and we discuss everything in detail. Also, I would

copy into an email anything I read on the topic and send to him so he

could study up.

After his first deployment last year (Elijah was 4 months old when he

came home) it became his job at night after baths to put the shoes

back on which gave me a huge break from it and put some of the

responsibility of treatment on his shoulders.
