Alex and Natalie

-
 I parent these two children of mine. Alex is 7 years old. He struggles with ADHD and anxiety. He started some medication to help him pay attention in school. There has been pros and cons, just like everything in life. Natalie is 2 years old. She was born with CMV. We have had some delay in her development due to her ears. She has had tubes put in, Alex is old enough to understand the situation. He asks questions and I answer them honestly.

So consumed with my own mental fucked up situation, it effected Alex the worst.  To be continued… make

I am blessed to have picked such amazing people to be your parents. Elizabeth puts a lot of time into the updates she sends me. She includes a lot of detail and sure it gets hard at times to read, but I appreciate it very much so. Due to your medical needs, there is a lot of time they spend with you getting the best of the best doctors at Yale to care for you. I am forever thankful to know there is such loving people in the world willing to give so much love. In this update a lot of medical stuff they informed me what is going on with you, I do not know for sure what i can share and what I can't. So August in CT is beautiful, you enjoy adventures to the pool, lake, and the beach.  This melted my heart, a picture of Henry reading to Georgie. I specifically remember a page in Andy and Elizabeth's profile when i was choosing a family that mentioned the importance of siblings close in age. That page included pictures of both of them with their siblings, Andy having a twin. I knew
