** Journal
The hospital was a rollercoaster ride, yet at no point did I feel truly sad,
low-energy, or remotely defeated. I think this is a testament to the physicians
and nurses we had. I take that back. There was one day where I felt updates were
not being provided damn effectively, and within about an hour someone came in to
tell us what was going to happen next and—more importantly—why it was taking so
long.

That said, being on the other side of Nabby's illness there is a foreign feeling
to coming home and trying to slip back into the casualness of normal life. The
strangeness was compounded when Dad dropped in a text message about Nabby being
vaccinated. He didn't ask about /S. pneumoniae/ specifically, though I chose to
take it as that. One of the nurses today said something about vaccinations
against what Nabby had being fairly rare. But it turns out there's been an
under-2 vaccine for strep since about 2010. Granted, that's under a decade of
time, but it does exist. So that got my head all spinning again about why we
don't vaccinate our kids.

I think the hardest part is that my position is mostly philosophical. Emma's is
mostly biological and risk assessment, which I completely agree with. But I
worry about the philosophical underpinnings of modern medicine and the erosion
of individual liberty. Political arguments don't often win over conservative and
conventional medical practitioners. But there has to be room in a discussion for
dissent otherwise we have failed at the most basic promises of our government and
our moral ethics.
