The first Time Abigail was admitted to the PICU, four days into our stay, her doctor warned Sean and I that we could develop ICU psychosis, a condition that until three weeks ago I had never even heard of. Let me reiterate that was after four days, today is day 20!!! I am now convinced […]

Ode to Amanda

Eight years ago, I had no body fat, no gray hair, and relatively no wrinkles or bags under my eyes.  I was still just a skinny naive 20 year old, and the world was my oyster.  But I had recently made a life change to follow Jesus, and I had a hott girlfriend, so life […]
