rushed.

Well we have made to today. And I hope before today is complete there will be some great pictures of McHenry's ribbon cutting for the handicap playground.  But if time runs out - I'll get them up soon.  Much to do today.  But if I don't make it back here - remember tomorrow is surgery day for Ivey.  A big day.

Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Sibling Secret Sauce

Siblings of kiddos with disabilities are amazing humans walking amongst us. They live a life, most often, in the shadows of their sibling who simply needs "more". More time. More direct attention. More of more. We have now come to a fork in our road. Our boys are young men, and, our daughter is a young lady.

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...
