“Patience with others is love. Patience with self is hope. Patience with God is faith.” ~ Adel Bestevaros To say that we have had to practice patience over the past 10 weeks, since Molly’s first very low heart rate was measured, is an understatement. However, it certainly is a word that encompasses each minute, hour […]

I found out about him and his family on http://www.carepages.com/ (CarePage Name: RogerCarepage) and though his diagnosis is not exactly […]

That’s how long it’s been since I took my first Terbutatline pill (around 8:30 p.m. tonight) and how long it seemed to take for the Terbutaline to “kick in” as far as I can tell. I do feel jittery and sort of caffinated, though I haven’t had any caffine. Not too bad though… I’ll let […]
