When I sit and write my blogs I always read over my previous ones. It looks crazy all of these hospital trips and feeling so low. This was my new normal. I hadn’t even taken the kids out much as I was scared to do that alone if Oakley’s stent came out or his oxygen…

Christmas morning had arrived. I sat up most of the night trying to wrap presents that I’d managed to get while trying to start from scratch in the new house. Oakley was also feeding every two hours. Tired wasn’t the word! The kids woke up early and couldn’t wait to get downstairs. I was trying…
