Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Holly-Brayden has his two month apppointment next week (Friday the 13th…what was I thinking?). Do you have any suggestions for how to reduce the discomfort from all the shots? Some people have recommended Tylenol before and after, and I remember you and Gwen talking about nursing for comfort. Hopefully, Kevin will be able to go with us so he can console me while I console Brayden…

Breastfeeding does seem to have some sort of analgestic property. (See: http://www.kellymom.com/health/illness/bf-analgesia.html
I used to nurse Will during immunizations and it worked like a charm… until that awful nurse got at him. It was easy with our Michigan set-up since we had to wait in an exam room for the nurse to come in with the needles. In NOLA, we go directly into the doc’s office and she gives the shots directly. So there isn’t really time to get Kate settled in and eating. But she’s been fine. This past visit, she cried out but calmed down right away. I’d ask your doc — it sounds like he’s been around the block long enough to really have some experiencial knowledge!
