One day at a time...

We're taking it one day at a time with Cecily. We have had some good days and some ups and downs, too. We are just trying to advocate for Cecily to ensure she receives the best medical care possible.  We know she is doing better but that is not good enough for us! We know she is still in pain and we won't give up fighting until we know every day is a good day for her.

We continue to be inspired by the generous designers that have reached out to us - and those that have responded to our gracious requests for help. It is encouraging to see the support that exists in San Diego for children with special needs.  It is strange to be constantly asking people for favors or help. I have always been a "do it myself" person.  We are just so appreciative and grateful.

I know many people think that it is crazy that we're trying to build a charity while our world is spinning - but that couldn't be farther from the truth. To be able to help families and give in a very small way helps us keep balance in our lives and inspires us to be better parents and better people. It also will set an example for our kids as they grow.  Yes, life is crazy! But life is what you make it. One of the gifts that Cecily has given us is the gift of perspective.  This is a gift that keeps on giving. When my day job takes a turn for the worse, or when things don't turn out the way I may have planned, I don't worry in the same way.  It will work out.  Life is what you make it. Onwards and upwards!
