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.

Happy 101 Grandma Phoebe!

Today is Paul's grandma's (Bailey's great grandma) ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST birthday.  We all took time out of our construction work to spend the evening with her.  We enjoyed pizza and cake and family chaos. 

Bailey is doing so well in her recovery that the doctors let her out for the evening to attend the party.  It was so nice to have everyone together in honor of our matriarch.
