What is Holding You Back?
Do you find yourself assuming you have another day? What is keeping you from living today to its fullest? I have several projects waiting to be started and I keep assuming I am going to have plenty of time to complete them. I have come to realize that I need to live...
Beads
My "Christian" brought me a surprise from school...a pipe cleaner bracelet with five beads. I wear it proudly. Not just because my sweet boy made it for me, but because a year ago he could have beaded this pipecleaner. The nerve damage done by the first PICC line...
Why in the world….
Why in the world am I saying this, but since we bumped up "Christian's" daily dose of NovoSeven from 2 mgs to 3 mgs, things have been really good. Even when his tooth fell out recently, there was not any blood. Maybe I am over reacting a bit by thinking that the boost...

A great day…until we came home
We have had a fantastic weekend! Getting things done around the house, spending time together as a family, eating some great, home-cooked meals and we went on a picnic in the mountains today (high of 62 degrees). Just to come home with a bleed. I thought his ankle had...
So Many Things
After a vacation, reality hits in a huge way. Getting back into the swing of life takes some time. Our vacation to Florida was truly one of the first times in a very long time that we were truly away from everything. No work email, no conference calls, nobody pulling...
A Big Difference
Before our trip to Florida, "Christian" was having a few issues and we ended up bumping up his dose of Novo from 2 mgs to 3 mgs. It seems to have really made a difference. Our fantastic Walgreens pharmacist is the one who brought up the dosing change. Apparently the...
