Why can’t people just do their jobs? I am beyond frustrated tonight. We are applying for a benefits program for Grayson- MDCP. If he qualifies, it will give us tremendous financial support and services, which we desperately need. There’s a long waiting list for this program- when I called and got Grayson on the list, he was…
18 Months!
Dear Grayson, Happy Half Birthday to my little BIG guy. Seriously, how are you so big? You’re heavy (21 pounds!), tall (31 inches!) and the size on the tags of your clothes match your age exactly- wow! God gave you a little half-birthday gift today- absolutely gorgeous, spring weather.

All You Can Do Is Laugh
2 out of 3 doctors appointments for the week: COMPLETED! The appointments themselves have been fine- great doctors and I got all my questions answered (and the GI doc told me I was a “great historian” for G- I’ll take that as a high compliment!) It’s just traveling to the Med Center two days a row in rush hour…
