My very first blog... I'm nervous!

This is so exciting for me! I'm officially a "blogger"! I'm not sure that is even the correct term?? Please forgive me - I'm learning as I go! I am so excited to share with you, a day in the life of me! I promise to keep it fun and interesting! I have a 10 month old son, and a husband of 1 year...how can life NOT be interesting? Between the toilet locks, the obstacle course of Lego's all over the carpet, and my husbands protein powder mess, I think I can manage to come up with a few things here and there. I'm excited to share our adventures and my simple message to "Be Kind. Make a Difference"- It's simple right?

Acknowledge the Storm, but Celebrate the Rainbow

"It is understood that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm; when a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm did not happen or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath. It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides counterbalance or color, energy and hope." *** We didn't know a head ultrasound was on her agenda for the day. But we were used to all the hospital visitors from all different parts of the hospital coming and going, taking the samples they needed from her, not to be seen again. So it wasn't alarming to us they were going to come in for a head ultrasound (U/S). Poor thing was only 7 days old- but it was just one more thing to check off our list. The whole scan lasted about 15 mins in total and that was it. She barely even woke up for it. Easy and done.   It was early morning an...

The Arrival of Our "Wait-and-See" Day

After receiving the results of Ashlynn’s head ultrasound at 2 weeks old, Chris and I knew there was a possibility of a Cerebral Palsy diagnosis.   Of course we did what any parent does when we want more info… headed straight to Google to research PVL. It was only a matter of minutes before we picked up on the statistically significant correlation between the two. Ashlynn never looked or moved differently to our untrained eyes in the beginning. She moved both of her arms and both of her legs… a lot. She followed our faces when we spoke to her. She even started babbling and cooing much earlier than our first.

We would come to understand it wasn’t so much that she wasn’t moving her arms and legs- but rather, how she was moving them. **** The day was finally upon us. The “wait-and- see” day.   Ashlynn’s 6-months follow-up.   I remember ...
