RE: How Has Steem Impacted My Life: an unstructured journey
'We had just found out that my daughter would need a special formula due to her allergies'
When i read those words I literally broke out in sweat. I went right back to the time when my new born son was on life support. At about three month old he was due to come home and I was told I would need to pay $500 per 500 mils of formula the hospital making in their lab to keep him alive.

That is crazy!
Normally in Finland it would be covered by the state, but only after 2 months of testing cheaper alternatives, something that the specialist said she didn't want to do. Our private insurance wouldn't cover it as it was classed as food, not medicine.
Is everything okay now?
Ah yes he is taller than me now : )
At the time he was in National women's , Greenlane Auckland.
I think the reason they wanted to charge me was they were trying to convince us to abort at 8 months. But me being me I felt i knew what the problem was. Turned out I was right and he is completely normal. Just an ordinary guy but better looking than most lol
Good to hear. Sometimes I wonder what impacts these very young events have on kids, but of course it is an unknown. I remember nights at the hospital (she was in the ICU for the first two weeks) thinking if she will somehow remember all the needles and tests.
Perhaps it makes for a good superhero origin story though :)
I hope my daughter won't be taller than me, but given mine and my wife's height, it isn't going to take much effort for her to tower over us...
There is one aspect in which she will probably tower over many.
