She has been through so much, and yet each morning, the first thing she does is smile. Or laugh. Or look in wonder at the world around her.
Our 5th daughter, Meagan, was diagnosed with severe Congenital Hydrocephalus at our 20 week ultrasound. Her story has propelled our family on a new journey. I hope to keep track of Meagan's story here to help other parents who may face a Hydrocephalus diagnosis for their child, and to celebrate Meagan's life.

Even on my worst day .....
I am not a morning person. Anyone who knows me.. knows this. I am a night owl. I love to stay up late. Read. Write. Clean.Until the wee hours of the morning. But by default, I "have" to also be an early morning person. With kids, one doesn't get a choice. Even if I'm a night owl at heart, I am forced to get up in the mornings. I don't like it and often I'm half asleep and grumpy. Then there's Meagan.
She has been through so much, and yet each morning, the first thing she does is smile. Or laugh. Or look in wonder at the world around her.
So I was thinking....even on my worst days, I should try to be more like Meagan. Just wake up. Smile. And take the God given gift of a new day to try again and do better.
