I’ve never ever lived through a natural disaster that has caused insane damage to my property or a house fire like my husband. I have never had to be on the phone with insurance people, and it not be about Bailynn, for hours on end. I have not had one instance change so many things for… Read More
Cincinnati took a urine sample on Wednesday when we were there. They have cultured it for the last 48 hours. There is absolutely no bacteria growing in Bailynn’s bladder and they have no idea why our local hospital came up with the results that they did this past Monday. They are now looking back through her… Read More
Today I had one of those calls. Bai often needs these type of calls, I think she finds pleasure in taking out a shiny wrench from her satchel and tossing it light heartedly into our family spokes. Things had been going too well Bailynn. Much too well. We have had a great few weeks of summer.… Read More
It has been nearly a month since I have found time to sit down and update on Bailynn and our family.

It was not my intention to infringe on any copyright laws of the music in this video. The first song is by Selena Gomez (which Bai loves!) the second it by Rachel Platten. We have purchased both of these songs through iTunes – I’m not selling or distributing this, just sharing Bai.

It has taken me days to start typing up a summary of what happened with Bai’s CT scans last Wednesday. I always am searching for the right words. The right way to relay the message without hurt, without sadness, and mostly without pity. The girls and I hit the road last Wednesday and made our… Read More
My husband is an amazing carpenter! Read More
Most everyone who hops on here realizes how much I enjoy drawing. I have many of my pieces featured here, on fb, and for sale in my Etsy Shop, but most of you don’t know how each and every piece I create has a story. Like most I seek inspiration for what to draw next.… Read More
Wednesday the girls and I drove to Indy for Bailynn’s post op appointment at St. Vincent’s and for Lila to get her new mouth spacer put in at Riley. Bai was not happy with the car ride, either direction (I will share more about that below). She was however elated to get to leave the hospital with no… Read More
