A Little “Normal”
Tonight we went to have dinner with friends. They grilled steaks and we had great conversation. My "Christian" was looking forward to playing with their children who are both close in age. Our friends were so thoughtful because they had already...
A Big Realization
Sometimes you just play the cards you have been dealt the best you can. You don't even know the difference. For me I don't know if I would know what to do if I had a child without a bleeding disorder! Both of my sons are extremely different but the...
Grabbing Hold
I am really good at beating myself up (not physically). If there was an Olympic sport for abusing oneself with doubt and criticism I would be a gold medalist. When it comes to building others up and motivating people to do their best at work or to find depth in their...
Love Like No Other
I adore my husband. We've been together 25 years but truth be told I didn't know love in the deep, complete, overwhelming, crazy, passionate, selfless way that love can truly be until 18 years ago…when my oldest son was born. I knew my life would change, but I never...
Relief
Four incisions and a week later and port #5 is healing beautifully :)"Christian" developed a clot that has essentially become part of his body. The surgeons tried to break it up and it just won't budge. Because of this issue the port had to be...
Holding it Together
Holding it together is exhausting. Today my little boy had surgery and I had not "felt" anything. I knew this port placement was necessary, everything was in place, and we were moving forward. I had been moving on instinct and logic and my heart had not taken...
#5 Coming Soon
I had trouble accessing "Christian's" port last week (while his Dad was out of town). What started as needing help accessing turned into a dye study to check placement and we learned that the port had coiled and developed a clot. I am glad it worked out...
A Little Tired…..
It's been a busy couple of weeks. My husband is out of town starting his doctorate work, my little guy has been at Adaptive Sports Camp and my oldest is in summer school and I had the privilege to preach at my home church today on Pentecost Sunday. And tomorrow I will...
May 27, 1962
What was this day like for my parents, 52 years ago? Their first son, so small and sick in a rural, Texas town. Did my mom hold him as he breathed his last breath or did a doctor come in the room to give her the devastating news? Was anyone with her or did she have...
Happy Birthday
May 22, 1962 I don't know what life would have been like if my brother had lived.Would he have been annoyed with a little sister following him wherever he went? I like to think he could have whipped up a mean peanut butter sandwich and taken me out...
