It’s been almost exactly a year since I last posted an article about Kendall on the Wolf Hirshhorn website. So much has happened over the past 12 months and I feel guilty for not continuing to write articles about Kendall and her journey. Kendall has done so much in the past year. She has fully transitioned from […]
Elsa had an at-home prolonged EEG in December. We monitored her brain activity for seizures for about 48 hours, in her home environment. We pushed the button 14 times for suspected seizure activity, but everything came back negative — no seizures at all. For now, a 2.5 ml depakene dose, 3 times a day, continues […]
Continue Reading →It’s funny how typically you have a baby and your family increases by one (more if you have multiples). If you look way into the future that one child may take a husband or wife increasing your family again, then maybe a grandchild or two will come into the picture. Usually our families increase in […]

We may be transferring to Maryland and have alot of anxiety about the move and the services for Joseph. If anyone knows what the services are like […]

In our posts and conversations on wolfhirschhorn.org, we often remark and swap stories about how our children are lights in our lives and in the lives of those around them. This is what inspires our 2014 Holiday Fundraiser design – […]

Magnolia, the garden gnome, really enjoyed Halloween this year. It was her fourth Halloween, but the first that she actually figured out that people would smile and ohh over her if she participated. Needless to say, she got a lot of candy this year. We can’t wait for next year.

This was the first year the Caroline dressed up for Halloween. Last year she was still so tiny that we didn’t even attempt at finding a costume. Well, this time, I knew months in advance what I wanted her to be, because she has always been my personal little Tinker Bell. She had a […]

My daughter’s name is Savannah, and this year, she dressed up as a princess in hiking boots (to go with the book, “Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?” because her school doesn’t allow Halloween costumes). Boo, for real!

We decided to make Sergio’s costume at home this year. We went with the “Up” theme around his new wheelchair that he finally received a couple days before Halloween. We chose this theme because we know without a doubt that Sergio is always on his way “up” in everything he does and […]

Quinn was a piñata for Halloween this year. She was a “for looks only” piñata, of course! It was very cold and rainy, so we didn’t get to do much trick-or-treating. We had fun dressing up and taking pictures though!

We went with the Disney Jr. theme this year. Jada was Doc McStuffins, and her little brother was Jake from the Neverland Pirates. The weather was pretty yucky here in the Midwest, so we didn’t get to stay out too long, but the kid’s still had a blast. After trick or treating we all snuggled […]

Of course we could not find a costume to fit but here is our beautiful Miss Arianna on her first Halloween as Wonder Woman!!! Small but in charge and full of strength. Arianna spent the day lounging in her cape.

She was diagnosed with WHS after an amnio was performed in July to try and check why she was so small. I was hospitalized at 25 weeks due to a […]

Continue Reading →Our Elsa was a puppy this year – and pretty happy about it! It was a really soft costume… We’ve been so fortunate to have borrowed costumes the past few years from my nephew. The fact that “puppy” fit as well as it did is a real testament to her growth! She’s getting to be […]
Continue Reading →We spent Ethan’s first Halloween in 2013 at our local urgent care clinic, so this was the first Halloween we were able to celebrate with him. We had so much fun! Yoda seemed so appropriate as a costume since Yoda was also one that shouldn’t be judged by his size. He may be little but […]
Continue Reading →We were going to skip ‘trick or treating’ this Halloween, until… I saw the angel costume…(The Christmas Pageant Angel, from my childhood, was flooding through my mind.) Oh, how lovely! As I was slipping it back on the rack, between the sweet princess and scary witch costumes, I noticed the detailed wings AND adorable halo. […]
