About this time last year, I made quite an extensive list of the developmental milestones that Kendall had reached at the ripe age of 5. As we well know, all of our children are quite different and each one has their own way of being who they are. After reviewing this list again 12 months […]

As part of the history in tracking Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome kids and their accomplishments, I wanted to make it a point to document some things about Kendall for us to look back on at some point, but also to give other parents an idea of what kids are doing at certain ages. We realize that all […]

Mia turned one on Jan 17th. We threw a party and had a really fun day with all our friends and family, but a combination of the disruption to Mia’s routine on top of an ongoing respiratory virus resulted in a cluster of seizures over the following two days and yet another hospital admission.

It has been several months (OK, five) since my last update on Norrah. In the course of the last 5 months our family has made some major changes and so has Norrah. Norrah is now 3! Her third year of life was an eventful one filled with so many new and amazing accomplishments. Norrah is […]

Continue Reading →Check out the videos below. They include clips of Norrah reaching milestones and living life. She is our littlest miracle and I cannot believe that she will be two in less than two months! *Please disregard the poor lighting, the crumbs on the floor, dirty clothes in the bathroom and the fact that my kids […]
Continue Reading →I used to think the song “Fix You” was written just for me about Mia because I thought it was my responsibility to repair the damaged life she had been given. “Fix You” When you try your best, but you don’t succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you […]
Continue Reading →Yea… the title says it all. This is a post where I brag about Norrah. On our personal blog and here on the WHS blog I haven’t really said much lately (SO UNLIKE ME, I KNOW). We are having some health issues in our family that have NOTHING to do with Norrah or WHS and […]
