Cautiously grateful

I wanted to share something my wife, Jen, wrote yesterday about our experience Sunday. I’m grateful for this miracle, and cautious because I know hydrocephalus can turn on a dime and we can find ourselves in the emergency room again. From Jen’s Facebook post: If you’re tired of all the negativity in the world rightContinue reading “Cautiously grateful”

Hydrocephalus strikes again

For those who don’t know, Xavier is back at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Over the past few weeks he’s been having headaches on and off. He would usually take some Tylenol and sleep it off. Sunday he was in pain and didn’t eat much after breakfast. He was sleepy and he started to get dizzy. These areContinue reading “Hydrocephalus strikes again”

Spoiler alert, there was no tragedy. Life went on as usual. But my heart aches and I get so sad when I think about what happened in Cedar City, Utah a couple weeks ago, and it’s all my fault.

Most have failed. I’ve been blessed and my company Professional Cable is still running almost 10 years later.  We supply cables suchContinue reading “Million Dollar Bribe”

I believe in miracles

Xavier had a good appointment with his ophthalmologist this week and it was good news; No need to wear glasses for now! We go back in 5 months for a follow up. He may still need glasses later. Everything else is going really well. He’s under weight but eating pretty well. He starts preschool onContinue reading “I believe in miracles”
