wow 1 year

A year ago today we started this blog. At the time I was almost apprehensive that we so shamelessly imitated what Gib and Abby had started a few years earlier, as it turns out their example made an extremely difficult time much easier to cope with. There is alot that never made it into these posts. I assure you it's better that way, the low-end on this roller-coaster can be *really* low.

At one point my mother bought a preemie book. Soon after the brain-bleed (PVHI) diagnosis we were over at their house and she said she was going to throw out that book, I asked why. She did not like the prognosis it gave for PVHI. I had a copy of the same book, I didn't like the prognosis either, but it pretty closely matched what the Doctors told us could happen. They did say that they had high hopes for Tyler. So do we!

I firmly believe having a forum like this to vent the fears and frustrations contributed a lot to the current status of things. The comments from friends and family with thoughts and support would often make our day. Knowing you are not alone is priceless in times like that.

This little corner of the Internet has become an important part of our lives over the last year. Thankfully it has recently become mainly a place to share pictures and milestones (knocking on wood that it stays that way). Unless Google changes their mind about recording EVERYTHING FOREVER someday (far) in the future we can show it to Tyler and he can see what a little shit he was for coming so early :-)




















In the last year that this blog has been on-line we've had 1,600 visitors, 15,600 visits.

It's hard to believe that it has been a year- You and Sharron should think about putting your blogs into a book for parents of other "little shits" to show how well things can turn out! Nice job!
