A Cold in July??

Yep, that is right, Ethan has a COLD.... I'm not sure where he got it from, since it has been so HOT here! :)

We cancelled PT for the day and headed to the doctor (better safe than sorry) and were told that Ethan's cough, running nose and watery eyes were just a cold and that he would just have to work through it.

So, we headed to Springfield for our afternoon ENT and Audiologist appointments. Let's just say Ethan was less than cooperative. We did get impressions for new ear molds made though, and they will be in when we get back from Omaha!

    Okay, I have to start off by saying that Ethan is SO adorable! What a sweet and happy boy he is, I love all the smiles. Thanks for stopping by Cole's blog, I'm not the best with updates. :) I hope Ethan's cold is gone and he is feeling much better. These boys are such precious angels and I feel they have such big hearts. I'm sad to say we won't be able to make it to the conference. With my work schedule and the travel distance it's too much right now. It sounds like it's going to be great gathering and it would be nice to meet everyone else. Please stay in touch and you guys take care! Just remember to keep the faith and stay positive and strong for your little boy. He is doing great. :)

"God Chooses Mom for Disabled Child" by Erma Bombeck

I don't think this is exactly how it works, but I had to share anyway. I believe with all my heart that God does not make mistakes, and although I will fully admit that it hurts my heart that any child is born (or develops) disabilities and/or life threatening illness, I know that God is sovereign and that He has a divine plan (even when we don't understand it!). I believe that God brought Jeff and I together and that He knew Ethan even as he was growing inside of me. While this is not the journey we would have dreamed of or chosen, and there are going to be times (and have been already) when we struggle, stumble and fall  it is our hope that in the end that we will bring glory and honor to the Lord.  God Chooses Mom for Disabled Child Written by Erma Bombeck Published in the Today Newspaper Sept. 4th, 1993 Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressures, and a couple by habit. This year, nearly 100,000 women will become mother

Faces of Peroxisomal Biogenesis Disorders

This Saturday we are hosting the first annual Pancakes for PBD benefit.  All the proceeds will go to the Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders to help offset the costs for our family and others like us to attend this summer's 2012 Family Support Conference in Orlando, FL.  We hope that this will become an annual tradition and allow us to help raise awareness and money for peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. Here are just a few of the faces of PBD.

So much and so little to write about...

When I started this blog I don't think that I could have imagined a time would come in which months would go by without me writing. However, that is what has happened. So much has changed over the last almost eight years since Ethan's birth and subsequent diagnosis with PBD-ZSD, yet at the same time so much hasn't. Unlike parents of typically developing children we find ourselves still parenting a child with complex medical needs who's developmental skills range anywhere from 9 to 18 months. Ethan still has PBD-ZSD, and right now his uncontrollable seizures are a major issue. We still fight PBD-ZSD the best we can each day with a basket full of medications and supplements and other medical interventions (feeding tube, cochlear implant, AFOs, etc), numerous therapies, school (which Ethan loves), and prayer. We advocate for him and all children and families impacted by PBD-ZSD and related peroxisomal disorders through our involvement in the Global Foundation for Perox
