Small changes hoping for a big difference
Caeleb has had a zero inhibitor titer for 15 months, but his half-life is just over 4 hours. It needs to be at least 6 hours to consider him "tolerized." He's doing great and we have to stay the course with big doses of Factor VIII. As for his...
Lent
Last week the Lenten season began with Ash Wednesday. We had a wonderful service with the imposition of ashes and communion and it is always such a powerful service. I was able to play my English Horn during the imposition of ashes and it is something I look forward...
Creating
I have always loved to create. Most especially musically, but over the years I have fallen in love with scrapbooking. I recently met a friend of a friend who teaches classes and hosts workshops for scrapping and card making. I found myself sitting at a table with...
The Honeymoon is Over
It's been 14 months since my warrior has been in the hospital and it has sure been nice…almost like a honeymoon from hemophilia. Sadly, the honeymoon is over. Caeleb had a bad fall on the stairs Sunday evening that warranted a bleed dose of Novo...

My Ten Year Old
When my first child was born it was as if my life had just begun. "This is what life is all about," I thought, "Now, life begins." When my second child was born I knew my life would change. It wasn't just that the 10 year difference between my sons meant that I...
Birthday Blessings
Last night I attended a wonderful anniversary celebration for a couple who have been married for 55 years. 55 years! They are a vibrant, spunky pair. I hope that Joe and I are able to live lives filled with the kind of spunk they have when we hopefully are their...
Every Day is a “New Year”
