Little horses?

Our friendly neighboring donkeys came to visit us yesterday. They graze in the woods behind our house and love attention from people. They come right up to you when you talk to them and love to have their head's scratched. Jay took Makenna to the fence to see them. She went up to the fence and said "Hi, little horses." I guess I need to learn the sign for donkey. She told me they were eatting grass and then they would go home. She wasn't too sure about these "little horses" she much prefers the ones you ride. She was ready for them to leave. Next time they visit we will have to give them a little treat to eat. Camille was very interested in them.

I can see that Cami is as nosy as ever and that Makenna is as cautious around animals as always. Miss everyone terribly.

CHARGE Syndrome

"CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.

One of the hidden features of CHARGE syndrome is the determination and strong character these children display."
