I'll Take the Health, Please

My beautiful friend Tami has had more health problems than any other 26-year-old I know…except her beautiful husband, Bryan. Between the two of them, they have had appendicitis, scoliosis, thyroid cancer, a ruptured spleen, endometriosis, that one disease that’s kind of like diabetes only for skinny, healthy people…the list goes on.

I just found out that this week their beautiful baby had to have a blood transfusion because his red blood cell count was too low.

I called Ben to tell him the sad news, and I asked him if he thought there was some form we filled out before we were born—one where we checked a box for either good looks or good health.

His response was, “Are you calling me ugly?”
