on Adam

We have not done a general health update on Adam.So I do apologize for that.He has surpassed our expectations, for sure.But there have surely been difficulties as well.  He is crawling like CRA-CRA- CRAZY.The boy knows how to get around.He roams this place like his own little kingdom.And he can get up on his knees […]

The Why’s

The sun always sets straight into our bedroom window.It is near setting now. Elliot is sweetly sleeping and THIS BOY is joining me as I write to you now.In the setting rays of the sun he sits. He sits with perfect posture.He laughs and his face dimples.And it is glorious. Have you heard THIS STORY ?It is […]

“a good God is everywhere”

Whew. So last week came to a close. And this week has been surprising with new steps for Adam. He is laughing more than ever, crawling more than ever, and has figured out how to make sounds thru his tracheostomy (which excites him more than anything else).It has been beautiful to see him recover._____________________________________________________________But, let’s just […]

sorry to keep you waiting…

just so everyone is aware… Adam has recovered well. We ended up staying in Musoorie thru the week to finish Adam’s IV antibiotics.We could have moved to oral antibiotics, but the risk of not catching all the sickness was too much of a risk. We have had an amazing pediatrician caring for him.We left the […]
