Kendall's Hope: Simplify.

Simplify.

I'm going through a phase I think.

I just want to simplify everything. I feel like my life is so cluttered and chaotic. I just want to simplify everything.

Including my blog. So bear with me...I'm determined to figure out the blog stuff on my own. Through lots of trial and error. (obviously)

I didn't just clean my office/playroom. I completely gutted it. It felt great throwing papers away and cleaning out files.

Justin thinks I'm going through some sort of "decorating crisis". I don't think its that. I'm just in this house ALL THE TIME. I'm sick of looking at the same things. I want a brighter, cleaner, uncluttered space. So that's what I'm going to do...if it takes me the rest of the year (which is extremely likely thanks to my high maintenance dogs and children!).

Kendall's 24 hour EEG has been postponed. I was planning to cancel due to her being sick and me being exhausted, but instead the hospital called and said they were at capacity! There are lots of flu and respiratory things going on right now, so I'd just assume stay at home....and simplify some more :)

What's the Scoop?

We are very open about our journey with Kendall. We're happy to answer any questions, and welcome all your comments! The one thing we don't want is to be isolated from our friends and family. I've been that person who thinks it is easier to just ignore a child with special needs and their family. I've feared hearing their story. I've been guilty of looking through a child with special needs. I've also thought and said "how on earth do you deal everyday?" Although it certainly isn't easy, we are a normal family...celebrating all the milestones our daughter hits (and maybe cheering a little louder in the process!) Let me tell you...it's been a long road with many bumps but the love and support we receive daily is what keeps us truckin'!

About Kendall...

Kendall Ann has blessed our lives in so many ways. She is truly a gift from God and has proven herself to be a fighter from the beginning. She was born with many neurological and optical abnormalities, which we now know is due to a stroke in utero...probably due to her Factor V Leiden mutation and two copies of the MTHFR gene (1-14-09). Oh, and NOW she has Type 1 Diabetes (8-19-09) And NOW (12-16-10) she has problems with her Mitochondria ... and NOW (2-11-13) a neurogenic bladder resulting in a vesicostomy. Of course there is a possibility of a Mitochondrial Disorder, and a possibility CDLK5 caused all the problems and Mito secondary...but we will never know, because we've decided no more testing! When she was born she came right home...no NICU stay...and we had no idea anything was wrong! She has undergone numerous hospital stays and a number of surgeries, but through it all, she has maintained a smile that wins the hearts of everyone who meets her. Please join us in our journey of life with a special little girl full of spunk and personality who happens to have multiple disabilities.
