Another adventure
"Christian" returns to school tomorrow after yet another knee bleed. He fell at school right after returning from a previous knee bleed and it started again. He just never quite healed so we were cautious in sending him to school too...
Stop! Be Still!
We don't stop. Our lives are filled with craziness and we just keep moving from one thing to the next. Work is busy, the kids schedules keep us hopping and our church ministry is ongoing. Teaching a bible study, making dinner, getting homework done….it just doesn't...
Everyone is Different
Several people in the bleeding disorder community don't understand why some people are hospitalized so often for bleeds. "Why can't you treat the bleed at home? Why do you go to the hospital so often?" Honestly, those kind of comments make me doubt...
Love
When I found my soul mate, at the time I didn't know he was "the one". But God sure did. By all accounts, Joe MacDonald and I should probably never have gotten together. People said we were too different, he was wild and crazy, I was extremely uptight. He was...

Back too Soon?
On Wednesday, January 30th, "Christian" woke up with swollen knee. We went to get it checked out at the HTC and he was admitted to the hospital. We were able to go home on Sunday, February 3rd with the understanding that we continued to keep him resting,...
A Bad Attitude
I had such a yucky day on Tuesday. I wasn't feeling good, I had to work and I had zero energy. And to top everything off I had to teach Bible Study in the evening. The absolute last thing I felt like doing was teaching Bible Study. I mean I was in the kind of mood...
Having The Right Words…when my Facebook Chimed
Have you ever been in a situation when someone needed your help and you just did not have the words? I have an amazing friend who lives in a neighboring state. To say she has difficulties in her life is an understatement. She has a husband, kids, job, and tons of...
