“Sometimes not being in control is the most beautiful thing in the world.” ~unknown As I’ve fallen a little complacent in updating my blog lately I’ve had some of you wondering how things are going. Life has been busy. Crazy. And full of…well, life. With Chance going through so many medical moments this past year...
I am a social worker at a spina bifida clinic in Syracuse NY. I was wondering about the spina bifida redefined ribbon shirt. Where did you get those? I was encouraged by your blog and plan to share it in our spina bifida newsletter. Thanks for sharing.
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt We’re only hours away from celebrating a new year. I’m thankful that we’ve reached the end of 2011. The year has been...

You, and Chance, are already great inspiration to many people; I think what you are planning will hopefully challenge many people to dig down a little deeper for more inner strength to not just endure, but to live life to the fullest! Good Luck! I know you will reach your goal!
Hi Amanda,
you are very insprational and I would love to support you if there is a way for me to do so. You and your family are in my thoughts a lot, especially now that I am pregnant again myself.
Kisses for little Chance and hi to your family.

This past week I got to meet Francesco & Heidi’s brand new little girl, Autumn. She was born only about a week before Christmas and I met her at just five days old. Adorable. Precious. Danty…and yes, perfect. I adored every moment spending time with this little peanut…I think you all will agree she’s beautiful....

“Count your blessings this holiday season…and always.” Now that Christmas has come to an end…I thought I’d take a moment to share a long overdue update on my blog. We celebrated Christmas…and felt a little more blessed to have this little guy celebrating his very first Christmas…at home! Yes, I say that quite happily because...

Beautiful!!!
Please keep your positive outlook for Chance. His future is wide open and filled with many possibilities. I know because 27 years ago my son, Ryan, was born with Spina Bifida. He is currently a PhD student at Loyola University in Chicago. His goal is to be a college professor. When he was born they told us he would have learning disabilities – wwll he has proven many people wrong over the years. His best attribute is his positive attitude, he lets nothing keep him down!
I have clung to Jerimiah 29:ll throughout Ryan’s life – “for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord . . . plans to give you hope and a future”
