Thursday Bob and I went to bed early knowing that the girls and I would have a long trip ahead of us in the morning. What we didn’t know is that Bailynn would decide to have multiple seizures, vomit, her suction machine would stop working, and she would cry for most all the night resulting… Read More

Back Update
