This blog was created to document our experience dealing with Bailey, our 16 year old daughter's stroke. Until September 15th, she was a perfectly healthy, active teenage girl. She is a junior in high school this year. She has a part time job, many friends and a busy social life. She is involved with the marching band, cross country skiing and the school theater group. Her class schedule reads like that of my nightmares - Honors classes, Advanced placement classes and even a "college in school" physics class. She has a smile that shows itself with the slightest of provocation. She is happy, easy going and a bit goofy. Generally, there was no reason to expect any health issues and definitely we would not ever have even thought a stroke was a possibility.

So, this is our story. I am hoping it will help others who experience this sort of misfortune to understand they are not alone. Maybe they are feeling the way we do and will take some comfort our story.

The day has come

Today is a big day!  Homecoming Dance!

Even though Bailey has no intention of actually attending the dance we must still go through all the primping and preening that attending such a special event requires.  I am allowed to pick her up from the hospital at 2:00 PM.  From there we will go to the salon to get her hair done, to my house to paint the nails, shave the legs and get dressed.

Time willing we will then stop by the house to see the work crew.

More to come and pictures to be posted later.
