Mama Bears and Warriors: Tears and Joy
Buckets. Buckets and buckets of tears. That’s the only way I can describe the tears I have shed over the years because of living with hemophilia in my home. Both of my sons have had their own struggles with hemophilia and inhibitors, and the tears I have...
Trust: Holding on to the One who Matters
Have you ever seen people take part in a "trust" exercise? They stand with their arms crossed over their chest, close their eyes and fall backwards hoping that they will be caught. There are not cushions on the floor to cushion a fall, or a net to catch them, they...

Something New: Welcoming a New Product to the Family
The hemophilia landscape is much different today from 21 years ago, when my first son was born. There were not many choices in products and they all seemed to do the same thing — help with clotting when the body needed it. Over these years, we even went...
One year ago…
