Musings of a mother of many
Yesterday was Colin’s birthday.
Our sweet boy is turning into a very handsome young man with quite a talent for ballet.
How the years have past!
Steven and Colin were born exactly two years apart on the ninth and the eleventh.
Steven loves to read and is quite the story teller. I love to hear […] Read more…
We took Evangeline to CHOP today for several tests. The world renown Dr. Campbell is her spinal surgeon, and the tests were ordered to ferret out whether or not Evangeline should have surgery on her spine to treat Thoracic Insufficiency.
Dr. Campbell developed a technique where a veptr is used to help the upper portion […] Read more…
We have pretty much been home bound around here since December tenth. We’ve had a couple different viruses blow through all of us, and now that Evangeline had her surgery, we are deep in the throws of cabin fever.
Mom mom and Pop pop decided to give us a break and took all who […] Read more…
We came home from the hospital last night.
Evangeline is having quite a bit of pain in her left foot, but she is doing well. Mark carries her from bed to couch to wheelchair.

She was fine all afternoon and did not seem […] Read more…

Tomorrow Evangeline will have surgery to lengthen the muscles and tendons in her feet. We have looked into […] Read more…
My special friend, Stephanie, brought these flowers to me when she brought the umpteenth meal she has prepared for our mega family since we have come home with the girls.

It’s midnight, and I’m sitting in Evangeline’s room in a tiny toddler chair beside her bed.
It’s Christmastime.
There’s so much to do to prepare. We were at CHOP today for Evangeline’s pre-op visit for the surgery on her feet that is scheduled for January 3.
I’m tired, but I need to be here. […] Read more…
