Navigating Life's Detours. Finding the right path for a child with special needs. Holoprosencephaly is a form of cerebral palsy. Paige and I learned that J.P. had holoprosencephaly at 23 weeks into our pregnancy during an ultrasound appointment. It was one of those situations where no one wants to tell you anything, but they make phone calls to doctors and say they need a better look and ask you to go to another location for a better ultrasound view. The cause of HPE is not known. We learned during the u...

Navigating Life's Detours. Finding the right path for a child with special needs. My four-legged running buddy. May 11, 2016. Exercise is important — even for our family members with four legs. In the beginning of April, I made a decision to stop walking the dog and running by myself. I decided to teach the dog to run with me, so I could get everything done at once. Karina learns to run with me. We generally walk around our subdivision, which is just over a mile’s worth of sidewalks. Luckily, the vet is ...

HPE Dad: Happy Birthday!
http://hpedad.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-birthday.html
Thoughts on raising a child with Holoprosencephaly. Friday, April 8, 2011. Fifteen years ago today, we became parents! HPEkid made her debut amidst a whole lot of fuss and uncertainty. We knew so little about what she was going to be like when she was born. We didn't even know if she would live for an hour, or a day, or a year. 15 years later, here we are.

Thoughts on raising a child with Holoprosencephaly. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Thursday, August 27, 2009. So yesterday was the first day of school for the new year. 5:30am 1st alarm, I get up and feed her breakfast: pediasure via g-tube. Then I go back to bed. By 6:30/6:40am she's usually out in the living room, watching TV. We give her AM meds, perhaps a little more formula. Start putting on her AFO's. So far, so good. No vomitting at school or at home, just the usual gagginess and congestion. Beginning...
