2 Brothers with Hemophilia
The journey of two brothers with Severe hemophilia A
I know, I know….
I should never say this aloud or even write it, but hemophilia has really been behaving in our house lately."Lance" had a bleed around his knee (soft tissue) several weeks ago and it was a wake up call for him to get back to his regular infusing schedule without his...
Who Do You Talk To?
Who do you talk to the most? Your spouse, best friend….what about yourself? I think we spend most of our best and worst conversations with ourselves. It has made me wonder, as I have been in a weekly Bible Study on prayer, what our attitude is like when we speak to...
A Speaking Gig!
I am really excited about this weekend! I'll be speaking at an event in Fargo, North Dakota on Saturday. I'll be at the "Dakotas Retreat" for famiies with bleeding disorders presenting "From Doubt to Joy - Making the Most of Every Day."I would appreciate any good...
Praying in the Messiness of Life – week 1
Last night was our first Ladies Bible Study for the Fall at First United Methodist in Truth or Consequences. Our study for this session is "Praying in the Messiness of Life," by Linda Douty. I have really enjoyed the book as I read through it on my own and am looking...

Slowing Down

The School Nurse
Yes, I think my "Christian" has become a regular at the school nurse. Part of the problem is that his teachers are still pretty nervous about hemophilia. When in doubt, off to the clinic! Don't get me wrong, I would much rather he go to the clinic than have an injury...
Change
I don't like change. It is inevitable. But I still don't like it. We are having some pretty major issues with the deterioration of our current Hemophilia Treatment Center. It is very scary, especially when the next closest one is at least six hours away. But sometimes...
