“And I would have stayed up with you all night…” (The Fray) Funny…my nights are filled with constant coughing. Wet washcloths to the forehead. Pulse oximetry. Puking of mucus. Pedialyte. Medication. Pillows. My little dude is not doing so hot. His lungs aren’t doing their job very well. There’s Lysol, medications, inhalers, nebulizers,…
Then and Now
I have very little trouble remembering the emotions of that day. They are still so true today.
Special Exposure Wednesday – Therapy Ball
It looks like an ordinary exercise ball. But to the boy, it’s an exercise in patience (try putting air into that thing with just a foot pump and you’ll know what I’m talking about) and therapy, Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.

My cousin sent the boy this shirt: At least they won’t be as loud as the game right? Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.

Faith and Hope and Love.
The thing about faith is that…it’s not transient. You either have it or you don’t. You don’t have to believe in the God I believe in to have faith either. You can have faith in lots of things–doctors, teachers, friends. To have faith, you have to trust. A lot. Believe. A lot. So where does…
Making it Good…
