Update

We made it through the night with out further seizures. She slept most of the day yesterday, which is typical. Of course, she played all night last night.

This marks the third time ever that Ivey seized and did not take a trip to the ER. Thanks for the prayers.

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
