a wonderful walk

Today we enjoyed church and a beautiful walk around Lake Padden with Elizabeth and her boys. Maxwell absolutely adores his cousins and loves spending time with them. He held hands with Jackson and walked for almost TWO miles! Max was sooooooooo happy. I love, love, love watching Max enjoy himself with others...and today was incredibly heartwarming.

It was especially fun to watch Max sign "fast" and have us all run together. Thanks guys for a great day!

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.
