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
Not just birds…freedom
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
The forecast shows signs of Surgery
The plan: We watch the spinal fluid leak over night, if it has not stopped by morning, we have to go to Indy and have a surgery done to repair the tear in the dural. They are on standby waiting for our return. At least it is an outpatient procedure. We have tightly bandaged the… Read More
A modern day prayer chain for Bai
On March 7th our family will adorn our “Love” and “Tough” t-shirts, designed for Bai, in support of her going into surgery. Not only is this a visual reminder, and a way to open a conversation about Bailynn, but it is a way to remember to pray for Bailynn all day. So we would encourage/ask everyone out there to wear their shirts too! We will take this prayer chain thing one step further! Read More

The Cold

Of course, she, unlike her sisters, could not clear the stupid thing! So off to the doctor we went and Bai is on another round of antibiotics. She is miserable.… Read More
From Her Back to Her Toes
Yesterday the girls and I traveled to Indy for a follow up apointment with Dr. D, Bai’s orthopedic surgeon. I am happy to report that her back seems to have fully recovered from all its summer drama. I was told that once we left Indy in June with Bai’s back blowing up like a balloon… Read More
For Her
Most of you know that I started this endeavor of sharing Bailynn’s life story about 7 years ago just as she was going through a tough and long stage with STAPH infection in rods that had been placed on her spine. I spent days spilling information about Bailynn into the pages of her CaringBridge. Sharing… Read More
I’m not special
I often have people come up and tell me how special I am. I am even told that there is a very special place in Heaven saved just for me and people just like me. Why? Why am I so special? Because of Bailynn? Because I have 5 children? Because I keep myself calm and composed… Read More
