I thought I would have to teach my daughter about the world; turns out I have to teach the world about her. They see a girl who doesn't speak,
I see a miracle who doesn't need words.

Happy New Year!

Hopefully we are starting the new year on the right foot...we got the results of Alex's MRI's and both the spine and the brain were normal. We will follow up with both her orthopedist and her neuro in the following weeks to go over the tests in more detail, but for now we are grateful for the good news.

Aaron and I just got back from the funeral of a two year old, Lawson, who lost his battle with a brain tumor. It's been an exceptionally sad day for both of us, so without sounding too sanctimonious, I'd just like to say as we reflect on the past year and hope for the new, please hug your kids tightly and thank God for them and their health.

I hope everyone has a blessed and Happy New Year.

Donna,

That is great news about the MRI! I am very glad to hear that.

I'm sorry to read about Lawson. My heart goes out to his family. It is so sad to go to a funeral for a child. Last summer we went to the funeral of a little girl who was 21 months old. She pulled her trach out during a nap. Life really isn't fair, is it?

I will go and hug my kids right now.

Hugs to you and your family as well! Let's all hope 2009 will be a better one!

Happy New Year,
Christy
