Mommy and I travelling to Phoenix (a 4-6 hour trip) 42 times over the last two years
Juggling 4 therapy appts a week (Physical, Occupational, Speech, Developmental Specialist)
4 surgeries to date from a brain surgeon...BILLIONS, I'm sure!!
The opportunity to see our baby girl Riley STAND UP...
to see her progress mentally like any other two-year old...
to see her ride a bike and feel the wind through her hair...
to have her healthy...
to HEAR her say, rather yell "MOMMY"...
to HEAR her say, "HI DADDY" everyday, nonstop, for the first 20 minutes when Daddy gets home from work...
to have her grow physically at the right height and weight for her age...even if it is on PediaSure...
to see her throw temper tantrums like any other two-year old...
to hear her SCREAM at the top of her lungs just because...
PRICELESS!!!
Gee, Mommy could get a new car if we traded in all my equipment...isn't that crazy?!?! Just kidding, Mommy doesn't want or need a new car but isn't it an interesting synopsis???

Awesome!
That beautiful, amazing, precious, and adorable gift from God is worth every cent! Ciaran is amazing! I just love this journal entry! Thank you for sharing your journey with me. It is great to be able to have someone else understand what we are going through!
Sometimes I get upset with how the medical industry charges insane prices for these thing, and take advantage of the disadvantaged! I also have had that same thought cross my mind, "We could have bought a new car at these prices!" But it is a waste of my time to stress out over things I can not change!
I hope Ciaran is healthy and well! Hurray, Spring is finally here! Take care and God Bless! :o) Heather Bowman (Danielle's mommy)
