It has been a minute since we went on any type of adventure, so after the heaviness of the third and final day of our latest visit to Shriners Children’s Greenville, we took a tiny detour on our way home. Our stop: Poinsett Bridge, the oldest bridge in South Carolina, and perhaps the entire southeastern …
We finally found time to make it back to Falls Park in Greenville this past visit. Back in April, on our second trip to Greenville, I finished the Greenville post, saying I couldn’t wait for our next chance to explore. Well, it took a few more visits to Greenville to finally find the time, but …
This latest trip to Greenville marked our 10th trip. 10 visits to the Shriners Children’s Greenville. Over 6,000 miles driven. I don’t recall what I was thinking or what I was expecting when we made our first trek at the beginning of April last year. I know whatever expectations I had in my mind then, …
Someone loved the snow! From the moment he saw it falling through the window, I knew he was going to be a snow baby. What I didn’t anticipate was how much this kid truly loved the snow! From being mesmerized by the falling flakes, to naturally wanting to stick out his tongue, this kid was …
We have made it to the ten-month mark! We survived the holidays and we’re at the calm before the storm that will be HG’s first birthday in just 2 months. (Crazy!) I don’t feel like Jenna would disagree with me when I say that the last month has been one of the more challenging than …
Another visit to Greenville, SC is in the books. Another new set of casts covers our baby boy’s legs, and I come away yet again, thankful for all the doctors and staff at Shriners Hospital, and amazed at my baby boy’s tenacity. Our six-week adventure with spica casting is complete. We now have 4 weeks …

Today officially makes 9 months since HG came into the world. We are officially 3/4 of the way through our baby boy’s first year! And I’m first to admit that my monthly posts are getting a bit repetitive. (Technically Jenna was first to say it when I had her read the first draft of this …
As always, HG is a trooper that handles everything that is thrown at him with a smile. We have been able to find our groove with the spica cast and it has become our new norm. Handling him was awkward at first but it is second nature now! And Harrison’s amazing pain tolerance meant we …
On March 4, we sat in a hospital room in Lexington, our newborn son down in the NICU with countless monitors and tubes. The day’s events had left us speechless. We were scared and had no clue what our future looked like or would hold. Eight months later, we find ourselves sitting in a hotel …
We’ve really not had an opportunity to explore Greenville or the surrounding area since our second trip here. With time to burn between pre-op Monday morning and surgery first thing Tuesday morning, we got out and explored a little. (Plus we needed the mental distraction). Which is how we found ourselves on a mountaintop 3,200 …

So I’m sitting here, in a dark hospital room, with nothing but a fan, ocean white noise, and the sound of my typing going on. Jenna is asleep, and I’m sitting in the glow of my laptop. This is my prime time. Time to decompress, to relax, to write. I enjoy keeping this blog updated …
Surgery Day! Leave it to our son to ensure we have a rollercoaster of a day. Even on surgery day. When our day started today, we thought our timetable looked like this: 6 am – Check-In 8 am – Take HG back for surgery 1-2 pm – Surgery complete, HG in recovery 3 pm – …
