Introduction

Hello All -

This is my very first post. Why have I decided to become a "blogger"? It's all about my little Daisy. I want to share my experience with others to create some hope in others and to connect with the world.

Daisy was born July 24, 2008 at Enloe Hospital in Chico, California. Shortly after her birth she began having breathing problems and then was transported to UC Davis. Along the way, someone decided that she was a "possible trisomy 18". Trisomy 18 is, simply, incompatible with life. It's a death sentence. Well, today Daisy is almost 4 weeks old. She's sleeping on her father's chest at the moment, weighing 8 lbs. She tracks with her eyes, she moves her body, she cries and acts like a normal newborn. Is Daisy a trisomy 18? While the doctors cannot tell us for certain that she is not - I can tell you that every test to date has come back NORMAL.

This blog is about my experience with Daisy and will likely be about my life as a mother of 4, wife to a wonderful man, lawyer and creative cook. I hope you'll share my journey.
