she wasn't there, and took down a book on Blood,
and looked up bilirubin.

I then went and bought cod liver oil. I gave him
cod liver oil twice a day, then decided to take him
home, because I notice a lot of bruising on him
where the trainees went to draw blood and missed.

They made a big fuss, but I took him anyway, and
gave him cod liver oil.

He was married two years ago and gave me my
first grandchild.

You may notice he didn't die.
Grow up 'yellow' or stunted
or suffer with his 'high billirubin level'.
This makes me laugh because my mom thought cod liver oil was the cure-all for everything and my sis-in-law said the same thing to me a few days ago. My husband and I survived that 'ordeal' and now my kids will survive it too.
