Stahlke Adoption

Welcome to Our World

Jonathan had waited several hours for the pediatric urologist to return his call. Even though I had attended the appointment with this new doctor, Jonathan had taken over as the "point parent" on the project.

When the phone rang, the unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line asked for Jonathan. My husband began recounting the history of the child's current medical issue, which was long and complicated, involving injury and infection over about a month of time. After three solid minutes of description, the doctor broke in:

"Why are you using so many medical terms? You do know that I'm a psycho-therapist?"

Oops, that was the other practictioner for whom we had left a message!
