goodbye stephanie

Mighty Max and I are very sad to be saying "good bye" to our wonderful friend, Miss Stephanie, and her husband, Ran. They are moving to New York for art school. We are thrilled for them and this new exciting opportunity, but they will definitely be missed here by many.

We hosted a "going away" party for them on Friday, and Max stayed up to join in the festivities. (He and Steph have always had a very special bond...so cute together!) He couldn't get enough of his friend...as you can see!

"So tell me about this adventure you are going on my friend...."

"WOW! That sure sounds exciting!"

"But we sure are going to miss you..."

What a nice way to say goodbye to a special, loving and kind friend. It is hard when our friends move away, but we hope to see them again one day, or make new friends. Love you, big boy.

Love,

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
