Appointment is Set!
I made a few calls, talked to someone I knew at the Denver HTC and we have an appointment for "Christian" on December 14th. I am so relieved that he will be seen sooner rather than later. He is having a bleed in his hand that is taking some time to heal, but his ankle...
Little Hearts Know
Saturday started out as a really nice day. We slept in late, went to our favorite little Mexican restaurant for breakfast, shopped for our Thanksgiving feast and walked through the local craft show at the fair barn. We were enjoying being home.After we returned home,...

Is Blood Really Thicker than Water?
My son asked me when I celebrated my favorite Thanksgiving. Without hesitation I told him that it was when we moved to New Mexico (almost six years ago). We had about 20 people over for dinner at our little rental house in the mountains and I had never felt such...
I’m Just Amazed
I have a Facebook account. I normally check in during the evenings, but sometimes I get messages during the day when someone posts to a couple of the groups I belong to. One of those groups is "Living With Hemophilia and Inhibitors." I was reading through a few posts...
Spunky!
