sweet boy

This was one of the recent days when Max was dealing with a high fever, stomach bug, the works. He woke up and wanted to watch Mickey.

I couldn't resist taking pictures of his sweet but sad expression.

And then...just about 10 minutes later, I look over and find this lil' sleeping beauty.

Being sick stinks, but I'm glad he has his Momma, Elmo and Mickey to get him through the rough patches.; January 21, 2009 at 10:37 AM

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.
