I have had some many people start or end a question with “if this offends you, you don’t have to answer” when they ask me something about Hudson. Like so many other kids here Hudson is unique and special, and with that come stares, questions or even in some cases judgment. The first time HudsonContinue reading “Jesus Loves The Little Children”

Being in the same situation as so many other families its hard to get excited. The same day we found out Hudson’s tumor has shrunk enough for surgery to take it out we also learned the news of another St. Jude kid we were friends with had passed away.

People have prayed for weight to be liftedContinue reading “100 days”

So today was Hudson’s embolization procedure in preparation for his tumor resection tomorrow. At the consultation appointment they said “Arrive at 8am for the procedure at 8am” Hudson and I arrived at the hospital at 5:40 to get checked in for the day.

I recently became an ambassador for a company called She Who Is and when I placed my order I ordered a shirt with “Your Brokenness is welcome here” written in cursive on the front. At first I thought it was a cool saying until I stopped to think about it. There is this analogy IContinue reading “Your Brokenness is Welcome Here”

Sunny and 75 degrees. Perfect weather so we took off to the zoo. Ended up marking a mile away, took 30 mins to get inside the zoo, and then so many people we just did anything that wasn’t in a tight space. Nothing ever goes according to plan but at least we took advantage ofContinue reading “Advantage of the off days”

I have always struggled with Anxiety, Depression, and constant worry. Obviously stressful situations do NOT help those feelings. One thing that always seems to help is getting my feelings out by writing, which is part of the reason for this blog.
