Jacob, Sarah, Benjamin, and Lydia had their Primary Program today. It was the one and only time all four of them were in it together. I am so grateful for the gospel truths they are learning. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
Life with Rett
October is Rett Syndrome Awareness month and it seems like a good time to give an update on all things with Lydie’s health from the past year. This last year has seen mountains and valleys. I remember speaking with a friend in April about how things were going really good with Lydie at the time. …

A couple weeks ago, Lydia had a swallow study done. This is something that has been talked about since our very first appointment we had for Lydia when we became concerned about her development. Lydia’s reflux is just relentless. She is on medication and we do a lot at home to try and help her …
