A welcome to those checking out Will's blog thanks to a link put up today by Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn on his blog at the Tribune site. You've discovered us at a pretty stable time for Will, and I won't apologize for the lack of drama in recent posts. Will has seen enough of that already, and he's only 11 weeks into his life and still more than four weeks away from his original due date. What you'll find here is a chronicle of the ups and downs of one premature baby getting some of the best care available as he deals with more than his fair share of troubles. You'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about chylothorax, patent ductus arteriosis, brochopulmonary displaysia, ventricular septal defects and the other hurdles placed before our son. The best place to start, if you're interested, is at the beginning, which seems like a lifetime ago. Come to think of it, for Will, that's exactly what it is.
