A week ago today, Keegan had surgery to place a new central IV line. While we sat waiting at the hospital last Wednesday, I started drafting a long post about the craziness that had ensued the day before, but I never got around to finishing...
I will get around to posting pictures and a full update soon. Keegan has been on a downward slope lately, and it just has had me running on all cylinders with no time to get to the blog. We met with Keegan's surgeon this morning...
Wow, I have so much to document here from our weekend trip to Albuquerque to spend time with Keegan's donor family, the Walkers. I need a few days to let the whole experience sink in before I can possibly begin to put it all down...

Audrey has attended "school" at a Mother's Day Out program at a local church for the last two years, but today, she officially became a preschooler. She has talked all summer about going to her new "big girl" school at our church. Even though she...
It seems I have reached another milestone in parenting. The sheer frenzy that is for most parents a mix of joy, anxiety, exhaustion, and sentimentality that marks the end-of-summer/back-to-school period. For the first time, I am beyond ready to get Audrey, and to an extent...
