  • Obamacare saved my daughter

    Obamacare saved my daughter

    Losing the Affordable Care Act would be devastating. Without it, my daughter would most likely be dead.

    For Christmas, Namine received a little microphone and stand. The stand was perfect for us to use in a little homemade physical therapy.

    Namine had a dental checkup today. The time for her jaw expansion draws ever closer, but not as close as we thought.

  • Tournament disappointment, again

    Tournament disappointment, again

    Last year was Namine’s first basketball tournament, or at least it was supposed to be. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to play. She didn’t get to play this year either, but for an entirely different reason.

  • On school and support

    On school and support

    Every year since Namine was four, we get these memories that show up in our “On This Day” Facebook feed. The memory in question is about us pulling her out of school.
