“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt We’re only hours away from celebrating a new year. I’m thankful that we’ve reached the end of 2011. The year has been […]
You, and Chance, are already great inspiration to many people; I think what you are planning will hopefully challenge many people to dig down a little deeper for more inner strength to not just endure, but to live life to the fullest! Good Luck! I know you will reach your goal!
Hi Amanda,
you are very insprational and I would love to support you if there is a way for me to do so. You and your family are in my thoughts a lot, especially now that I am pregnant again myself.
Kisses for little Chance and hi to your family.

Amanda,
I will be sharing this page to the group, “United by Spina Bifida”..and sharing on my own wall. I will do whatever it takes to try to help. I am so sorry to hear this news. I guess all we can do is pray, and I have seen this sweet little girl in your blog before. I knew who you were talking about when I first read “Raven”..please tell your family I am praying, and constantly thinking of all of you guys. Let me know if there is anything at all I can do, and I REALLY do mean that! *HUGS*
Im am so very heart broken every time I see children go through hardship and I know that God is love and fair and has incredible plans for us all. Yet my heart still cries and I am filled with confusion. I know that you and your family are incredible people and I believe that this is part of something beautiful that is to come. A super Natural Miracle and I will pray for you guys and for this beautiful little girl, who I had the pleasure to meet once. Stay strong and I hope that Christmas bring all its gifts as miracles, healing and rejoice in all of you, amen.
Amanda,
I am praying for Raven and her sweet family. We know the trials she will face, but we are faithful that she will pull through. I swear, these kids show more strength and determination than even the strongest warriors. I am here if you guys ever need someone to talk to about her diagnosis/treatment, etc. Love and Hugs of HOPE
“There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.” ~Unknown I suppose if there’s any year I should write about being thankful it is this one. I have to admit it’s tough sometimes not to think of the long list of tough times that have happened to our family the last few years but […]

It’s been a busy few weeks since the last time I wrote on my blog. So I suppose a bit of an update is overdue. First, my baby boy is finally showing an interest in writing. I’ve tried several times this year but he’s always been disinterested in coloring or writing and if he’d join […]

Hi Amanda: You have a beautiful family! As I look through your pictures, I just realized I don’t take enough pictures of my son. I must start doing that now.
Thanks for sharing!
I have not checked in here for a while because I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it friend 
“There is a strength in vulnerability and exposing your scars to the world.” ~unknown This time last year my life was still amidst quite a bit of uncertainty, fear, and filled with overwhelming moments as we had come so close to giving up on my baby boy. It seems like many more days in the […]
