In 2006 I lobbied a neurosurgeon
to implant a vagal nerve stimulator in my son in order to attempt to better
control his myriad seizures. The ketogenic diet then was in its infancy here in
Israel. As a matter of fact when I had approached a pediatric neurologist on
the matter his answer had been, “well if you want to occupy yourself with
voodoo, you are on your own.”

With notice
When I go to sleep at night I cannot throw my clothes into
the laundry basket or put them down in simple disarray,
But place them well within grasp, separate and on display.
For the call can come at any hour to bring about the task,
That moment of eternity, while I drink its empty flask.
A few simple words hushed, rattling the mind with increasing urgency,
dread arises and with a flash I am up, “come quickly, it’s an emergency.”
