Vin(Diesel) Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 I was in labor with my son, who’s now almost 2 months old. About 20 hours in, they told me that since my son’s heart rate kept dropping every time I had a contraction they had to do a c section immediately. Making it in some ways worse, c sections are usually done with the mother awake. If you’ve ever wanted to experience your own major abdominal surgery in real time, go for a c section. Ugh. At least they put up a curtain across your middle so you don’t have to watch. So I was scared. As they wheeled me into the operating room, I looked up at the huge, super bright lights that the surgeon sees by (Lirin wouldn’t have needed spheres!), I saw a label on one of them: Steris. That’s weird, I thought. Then I saw the other label: HarmonyAir. It was just weird enough and cool enough that I started wondering if it was a coincidence or some strange wink from God or something, which was much better than just wondering what might go horribly wrong during the surgery. The c section went well, and I have a healthy son. I plan to introduce him to the Cosmere someday. 6
