I’m not sure where to begin.
We saw Dr. Campbell today at CHOP, and we really liked him. There are still many questions to be answered about Evangeline’s back and whether or not she will require surgery right away or later.
Her spine is extremely complicated with major deformity, and Dr. Campbell cannot believe she […] Read more…
So Many Things
The weekend passed so quickly, and it was filled with so many wonderful things I want to share with all of you.
We are in the car on our way to CHOP to see the world renown Dr. Richard Campbell who developed a way for children with serious scoliosis and back deformities to grow using […] Read more…
Another Busy Day
Dr. Davidson is trying to fit Evangeline in for surgery soon. With the Holidays quickly approaching, and a medical conference on his schedule as well, he doesn’t have as many slots for surgery, and he is really booked up.
She may even have to wait until January 3. This is a problem because her right […] Read more…
CHOP With Eliza Too!
We are at CHOP again, but I wanted to do a quick post and tell you that Eliza chose to come with us today!
She has been such a homebody since we came home and has really not wanted to go anywhere. When we have insisted, we have wished we hadn’t. She has been […] Read more…
I’m a Mary
I’m a Mary, not a Martha.
Although I benefit from some structure in my life, I struggle mightily with creating it.
I will sit patiently with you if you are sad, or just want to talk.
I have no problem rocking babies, or children while the laundry piles up.
I don’t mind at all if we get lost in […] Read more…
One Wild Ride
I am beginning to think we are on one wild roller coaster ride.
We did end up taking Evangeline in to Children’s today for her foot. She has only been walking on her foot since Wednesday and already she is developing an open wound which is draining. She’s back on the antibiotics and can’t walk […] Read more…
A Very Special Miracle
We have been home from China with our girls for seven and a half weeks, and they were ours two weeks before that. In some ways, it’s hard to believe that much time has passed, and yet in others it feels like an awful lot has happened since we met our precious blessings.
Tonight […] Read more…
All About Steven
Steven is one of our really good boys.
You know the kind. They are quiet, rarely do anything wrong, never seem to have any needs that are too urgent. In a word, they are content.
That is our Steven.
My sweet boy.
No matter how delightful, there is a danger in being so good, so […] Read more…

Doing Hard Things
I’m sitting in our lovely front room that Mark cleaned up for me before he left. It’s quiet because he has taken half the children to Ballet, and the others are playing quietly. Mark didn’t go to work today because when it was time for him to go, I couldn’t hold back the tears. I […] Read more…
