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.

Thank you Nordstoms!

We finally made it out to buy shoes. We rolled into Nordstrom's with our heads held high and proudly asked for a pair of Converse - left foot size 8.5 and right foot size 11.

You can actually fit the "small" shoe inside the "big" shoe! It is awesome. Bailey calls the big one her clown shoe. She is oddly proud of it. I am so glad she is such a positive girl and can find the bright side to every bump in the road.
