Pneumonia
In the hospital….not the way we has hoped to spend our Labor Day weekend. Her left lower lung is affected. She is on IV antibiotics and receiving treatments with “The Vest” three times a day. Unfortunate she has been unable to keep her stats up on her own so we are on Oxygen too. We [...]
Boat Ride

Five Years
I have loved Brooklyn from the moment I found out that I was expecting and my definition of what love really means changed from the moment I held her in my arms. I knew that she was amazing from the start…..my little angel. Then, Five years ago today our worlds changed again. That was the [...]
