It was Thanksgiving day back in 2002. I was only 23 years old and my life forever changed on that day. I had a placental abruption and Brendan was born at 33 weeks. He lost oxygen during delivery due to incompetent care but was a fighter and turned 17 this year. My journey in life over the past 17 years took many turns I was not expecting but I try to stay strong and have my husband by my side even when I am not.

Ride Brendan Ride
Brendan rode his bike again today. It was only the second time since surgery and he was pedaling so much more than the first time. He doesn't want to stop. He was on his bike for an hour. You need to help him get started but then he can really pedal! This is such great exercise for him. He was trying so hard he lifted his arms up in the air and really pushed with his legs. He normally doesn't act like his legs exist so this is very exciting for us! RIDE BRENDAN RIDE!!
