Welcome to Our Lives!: A Sacrifice....
http://baby-jackson.blogspot.com/2011/06/sacrifice.html
Welcome to Our Lives! 4 years in our journey with Arthrogryposis and one amazing miracle! Tuesday, June 21, 2011. You can check out the whole story here. I did and will ALWAYS choose my child (and my family). I'm am thankful to have a flexible job now, but in the work I do, I can't tell you how many parents and/or caregivers I speak to who have to make a choice to quit their job and care for their child to only be told they still don't qualify for services!

Welcome to Our Lives! 4 years in our journey with Arthrogryposis and one amazing miracle! Monday, April 11, 2011. I know it's been a long time since I posted, but we have been super busy. Today, we went to pick up Jackson's new braces and when we asked him what color straps he wanted, he picked the loudest color in the place and it was of course a shade of green! Thanks for checking in on us! Doris Glass Heckert - Jackson's Mommy. I was born with a rare life threatening disease. May 15, 2011 at 5:18 PM.

Welcome to Our Lives! 4 years in our journey with Arthrogryposis and one amazing miracle! Monday, November 16, 2009. There are a many things I never knew until I had a child, especially one who is differently abled, most of the things I have learned along the way are happy things, like sheer joy and a love like I never knew before. But today, I learned something I thought I knew before, but really didn't. Today, I learned what a true broken heart felt like. Doris Glass Heckert - Jackson's Mommy. View my ...

Welcome to Our Lives!: whew!

Welcome to Our Lives! 4 years in our journey with Arthrogryposis and one amazing miracle! Monday, March 22, 2010. I won't say that this is a decision that makes me or Jon happy, but it is a decision we are (well, at least for me) slowly coming to terms with. It will be tough to send my almost 4 year old back to the surgery area, when he is old enough to know what is happening, but I know in my heart that this is what's best for him.

Surrender: Surgery went well!
http://adoptinggrady.blogspot.com/2011/10/surgery-went-well.html
Tuesday, October 11, 2011. His feet were tagged and ready for surgery. They look like "praying feet." So cute. It is hard to believe that they will be flat soon. Scottish Rite is an amazing hospital! The surgery went well. The doctor was able to place Andrei's feet flat while maintaining good circulation. He will be in long leg casts for about 6 weeks and then half length for 6-8 more weeks. Then, he will have braces. October 12, 2011 at 8:32 AM. Glad to hear things went well.been praying all weekend!

Surrender: February 2011
http://adoptinggrady.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. God’s love heals the broken hearted. Prior to bringing Andrei home, I felt secure in my ability to parent him. Now that he is home, and we are experiencing all the ups and downs of this adjustment period, I realize that all of my life experiences gave me a false sense of security. I was relying on my earthly understanding of children and parenting. He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? Saturday, February 12, 2011. Is one of his favorite ...

Thursday, December 30, 2010. After court we went to visit Andrei. We thought we would call him Asher, but right now Andrei seems to fit him best. He might like Asher later. We had a great visit. Andrei and mama reading a book and having a snack. We learned our lesson from the first visit, stickers go on paper or clothes from now on. Look at my cute little stinker. : ). Day 12 – Court Day. Thursday, December 30, 2010. Today, there is one less orphan in the world and one more member was added to our family.

Surrender: Update
http://adoptinggrady.blogspot.com/2011/09/update.html
Monday, September 5, 2011. Sorry it has been so long since the last update. We had a good summer with lots of traveling. We went to California for 2 weeks and had a great time with my family. This is a picture of my grandma with Madison and Andrei. She will be 100 years old in November. We also went to Disney, and Andrei was great during the 14 hours we were there. He loved every minute of it. We were exhausted, but we could not leave Cali without a picture with Mickey! Feet surgery is scheduled for Octo...
