Exploring Holland

This sweet little boy is getting a g-tube. We knew the time would come and after an aspiration event on Saturday that resulted in a pneumonia, I called the surgeon. The same doctor who placed Waverly's will do Oliver's and repair a small umbilical hernia...

It has been six months since I last heard Waverly take a breath. Six months since I twirled her hair in my fingers and kissed her warm cheeks. I cannot believe so much time has passed since she was here with us.
There have been moments where I am confident she sent little signs - birds and wind chimes specifically. I am still waiting for her to come to me in a dream. And my heart has yet to feel confident that she is safe and loved wherever she is....

This little boy has had a difficult week. Since returning from our vacation he started having some seizure activity again. We had ventured up to CHoP a few weeks ago to see a wonderful team of doctors, including the neurologist who diagnosed the kids...

Oliver and I took a last minute trip to Costa Rica last week. We were able to stay with some dear friends and we spent a day with our favorite New Zealand friends. I loved having this adventure with him. More memories and more travel ahead!
