You had another heart attack last week. No one knows why. It’s incredibly scary, not knowing. But you did say something dumb enough during your hospital stay that warrants mention in this blog. You said that as soon as you’re out of the hospital, you want sushi. You said, “I want the sushi with cream cheese and ham.”

On March 4th, you had a heart attack. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how horrifying and scary it was. Charlie was there, thank God. We’ve been dealing with the after effects of ever since. You are now scheduled for open heart surgery on June 11th, the Tuesday after you graduate from high school. If I think about it too much, I’ll throw up. You, however, are being incredibly stoic, saying that you just want to do it now, get it over with. You said today that it’s going to be a long month. You’re right.

The following is a continuous list of all the words you've said or pronounced wrong:

• Veiled - you said "vile-eed"
• Cajun - you said "ca-hoon".  When asked why, you blamed it on your Spanish class.
• Bow - you kept pronouncing it like bow and arrow, not take a bow
• Unadequate - you had a hard time believing that's not a word (11/30/2020)
• Bike boys - in reference to paper boys
• Scientifical - "It's a 'scientifical' fact".
• Psychology - you read it as "physocolgy”
• "Look how much chips I have". (4/12/2021)
• Over - you read it as "uver", like "oven". We were looking at birthday candles at the time. Then, when I said that the rest of the candles said "the hill", you said "the hill over?" (5/26/2021)
• You wanted to say ignorance but you said ignorism (2/10/24)
