[Public, accidentally so.]

[Toby's writing is sharp and pointed with a heavy hand, angry.]

You authorized her doctors to change her medications?! To something experimental? Without talking to me?

	[It takes a while, but eventually. Jan's own writing is unbothered, but slow in coming, as if he's weighing each and every word.] I'm sorry, Toby. I tried! You have messages from me and the facility. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If you can't get hold of me, then you don't change it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I only had three days to decide and if I passed, then we never would have been able to do it again and then it would just be what-ifs forever! It could really help! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's doing fine on her current medications! You don't make decisions about this on your own, Jan! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It could help! [Pen press.] Why not? You do it all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His pen presses against the page long enough to leave a puddle of ink.] I'm the doctor, January. I went to school in order to help people like our mother. I research the medications that she is on, the treatments that are decided on. This is what I went to school to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But they're doctors too! They wouldn't suggest something if it was bad, Toby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:10 am UTC (link)
	They aren't her children. They're more eager to get patients on the clinical study than they are whether or not how helpful it will be to them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Probably as rude as Jan is ever going to get.] Don't be so cynical. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:14 am UTC (link)
	[Sharp, tight writing.] Would you like me to enlighten you with tales of treatments in the past? Where family members made uninformed decisions about treatments? I've got books on the subject, January, and I'd be more than happy to read you a few bedtime stories from it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:17 am UTC (link)
	But I talked with them. It wasn't uninformed. They told me. I don't know the science behind it, but they said it could be life-changing. That's a good thing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:20 am UTC (link)
	And doctors said lobotomies would cure the mentally ill! That's certainly life changing, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:22 am UTC (link)
	That's not a fair comparison! Just because some people somewhere did something once doesn't mean it's going to happen here! Tell me how many procedures or trials did you turn down for her, Toby? She could be better [Okay, no. That's as rude as Jan is ever going to get. He instantly goes quiet, and can't even make himself punctuate his last sentence.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There's a press of his pen, and then nothing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:25 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, Toby. I didn't [...] That's not what I meant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:26 am UTC (link)
	No, Jan, you meant precisely what you said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:29 am UTC (link)
	[In small, dark letters.] It could help her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:30 am UTC (link)
	And it could harm her. You didn't think of that, did you? You can make the decisions for her now, January, since you seem to enjoy doing so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Stop! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:35 am UTC (link)
	[No response.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:40 am UTC (link)
	[Cue cupcake rage.] Fine, Toby. I won't go see her anymore and you can keep her to yourself again. [And with that, Jan is doooone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He stares at this for a long while before slamming the journal shut and shoving it under his mattress.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	iconoclasm 2013-05-18 01:02 am UTC (link)
	[Then.] She's not doing fine. You said so yourself. You can't just change your mind because you're upset with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofthewolf 2013-05-18 01:07 am UTC (link)
	[...No response to this. He's not even going to dignify this with a response.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
