http://lilypadspl.blogspot.com/2013/05/dear-stroke.html
This is the inspiring story of a family's struggle to come to terms with the diagnosis of Fetal Brain Stroke. Sunday, May 12, 2013. I wanted to take a moment and thank you. I know this is not the response you usually get, especially from a mom whose child you have so greatly affected. But you see, we now have a different view of life because of you. I truly thought she would die then. I've never seen her that close to death and it was awful. So awful I had a mental breakdown in the waiting room. Do you r...

http://lilypadspl.blogspot.com/2013/02/wandering-space-between.html
This is the inspiring story of a family's struggle to come to terms with the diagnosis of Fetal Brain Stroke. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Wandering: The Space Between. Since January, my church has been studying. Complaining. What is to follow here are my reflections on this week's reading, sermon, and how this applies to my life. When will Lily finally be able to walk normally? When will we get to a point that our schedule is not so crowded? When will we be financially stable and afford the medical costs?
