Christmas Picture Fun

Today we attempted a picture of the girls for our Christmas cards! What fun!!!!! They both did a good job, especially since Makenna isn't back to her old self yet. You can see her kind of wilting in the photos as her energy level drops quickly. Cami was eatting and many of the good shots show her snacks - ick. We found a few good ones. Here is sneak peek - you will have to wait for your Christmas cards to see the best one though!

These are such great pics, Katie! I especially love the first one of Cami planting a big kiss on Makenna's cheek! Glad Makenna is back home and starting to feel better.

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."
