You've been through a lot and so has he in such a short life. I truly hope that he continues to thrive and this new school fares him well. He seems like such a lovely, caring boy, but I'm not surprised. He has you as his momma. :)<br /><br /><3The Flynniganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877002799914008086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440854094055537046.post-1430735695443216322017-03-28T12:15:16.904-05:002017-03-28T12:15:16.904-05:00What a sweet, sweet boy you have there and all tha...What a sweet, sweet boy you have there and all that love and support. I cannot even fathom all the emotions you all must have went through and the subsequent pain, fight, determination, to get to where you all are today. My goodness. The things some children and families go through is not fair. I was a pediatric ER nurse for 10 years and I saw some heart breaking things and some incredible things too. Kids are the most amazingly resilient warriors ever. <br />I love that you shared this journey with all of us - I hope that someone who is going through the same stumbles upon this. xoxoKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050335567456721813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440854094055537046.post-9841145249632320012017-03-28T10:49:34.220-05:002017-03-28T10:49:34.220-05:00Such a beautiful story.

This is so heartbreaking to see a little boy in this amount of pain :( I have issues with my retinas as well (I'm very near sighted and have been dealing with eye issues my entire life) so I can empathize with this completely. <br /><br />Let me just say that you guys are incredible parents. Truly. I know that this could not have been easy to see your baby in this amount of pain, but you are giving him a chance at vision and I'm sure that you look back from where you were on this day, and you can see the progress you've all made <3 <br /><br />Sending so much love to your family. That pic of him clutching nana's necklace got me all choked up, *sniff*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373401186676827034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440854094055537046.post-32976003540128150832009-07-24T08:48:39.481-05:002009-07-24T08:48:39.481-05:00(How did I miss this post?!)
I am so glad to hear...(How did I miss this post?!)<br /><br />I am so glad to hear that surgery went well and that Jacob came through with no complications. The road ahead is sure to be long and hard, but the fact that you and B. are onboard and already advocating for him will make a world of difference!<br /><br />(And teething . . . Biter Biscuits, frozen bagels, frozen washclothes, direct pressure on his gums - ie., massaging them with your finger, and Hyland's Teething Tablets - most grocery stores carry them - they are homeopathic, and while I was initially skeptical, they work great! At night we always pulled out the big guns - Tylenol or Motrin before bed . . . it took the edge off and let them sleep. Try to stay away from Orajel and the like - they tend to numb the whole mouth and harden the gums. I hope it passes quickly!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440854094055537046.post-18573277731142641772009-07-24T07:45:31.371-05:002009-07-24T07:45:31.371-05:00Oh Kim, I'm so sorry you and Jake have to go t...Oh Kim, I'm so sorry you and Jake have to go through this.
