Daniel and I are very excited to be going to Colorado for my 37th birthday in just a few days. Planning an adventure with our health issues is a little bit of a challenge, but we’re making it happen because we both want to live bigger. On this trip we’ll be flying into Denver, spending …
Daniel and I had just come in the house from somewhere and we had NPR on the radio keeping Magnus entertained. As we were settling in I caught a few words from the program that was on that day. Those words have been sitting and stewing in my head for several days. Fresh Air’s Terry …

I have a genetic disorder that occurs in 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 people. Turns out Daniel does too. Doctors often ask if we met in a support group.
