Swing Batter

Fun at the playground.

Daddy and Cami enjoying a cold ball game.

Running the bases. (Jack is signing "run".)

Swing Batter!

Makenna #8, we are taking suggestions for a nickname.

Girl with attitude - ready to play!

The second season of Miracle League started last Saturday. Come on out and enjoy a game this season. Games are Saturdays at 10:00 and 11:30 at the Miracle League Field, right behind Starlight. If you have little ones make time to visit Starlight's playground. It is very accessible and great for little children. Makenna is on the Halos team this year. Her Uncle Jimmy is the coach, Matthew her cousin is assistant coach and Jack her other cousin is her helper. Thanks McLendon family for supporting such a great League for children with disabilities. Thank you to the Garber Family who always come out and show their support! Hope to see all of you at the ball park this year :0)

Love these pics of Makenna playing ball--she does so well! We have a Challenger league here, but we haven't tried Katie in it yet. It's too late this year to sign up for it, but I have it on my list for next year. It looks so fun!

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."
