Tangible
When you can touch something it's real and reassuring. Not everything is tangible, but it is nice when it is. Children who are in and out of the hospital with chronic illnesses only know their illness as a way of life. What most of us know to be true is...
In An Instant
My sweet "Christian" was admitted to the hospital Sunday night because his Dad and I just could not access his port. The next couple of days were filled with IV's and a port that had a nasty rash on the outside. Last night the IV infiltrated the muscle in...
Another good month
To battle my "Christian's" allergy to factor VIII, we are slowly increasing his dosage each month (in addition to 300 mgs. of Xolair every other week).Yesterday was another big day….he tolerated 750 units of factor VIII! It sure is a slow process, but things are...

A Little Passion
My "passion" has changed throughout the years. For a long time it was music, then I was focused on my children, so they became my passion. My faith and life as a pastor's wife became an integral part of my life and I felt led to step in as a leader in our church and...
Time Flies
The older I get the faster time seems to fly by. "Is it already August? Where did the summer go?? Enjoy your children they grow so fast." Aren't those the kind of things only our parents used to say? Well, we are our parents now. Eighteen years ago today my mom, Lydia...
