We will take Riley to Stanford because we love him and want him to have the best chance at having a good quality of life...even though the last thing I want is for him to have another surgery. Just trying to focus on when we can travel without oxygen and visit mountain tops, our world expanding. xxooMother in Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096344221710006618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-15611850758659263982014-10-02T10:48:41.868-07:002014-10-02T10:48:41.868-07:00Thanks girlfriend!

And I can only hope as my children read my blog/book/articles (if they do), they will see it for what it really is...a mom doing the best she can to get through the day and reaching out to others and to connect with others through our journeys. I've often told Riley that I wrote my book so that other people who've had kids in the hospital don't feel alone. The same can be said of this blog. xxooMother in Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096344221710006618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-22506009745259630862014-10-01T20:16:11.218-07:002014-10-01T20:16:11.218-07:00Loved the video!

Living life online can be hard to determine our story vrs or kid's story. It is a really tough tightrope to cross. I can tell you this. The online world can be a beautiful life line of support. I hope you find that here with your words. We love R. We will be thinking if him on this day.
