Our Blog
Andy and Kandis will be adding posts separately as well as together to let you peek into our journey. Thank you for joining us as we travel this road.
In the Green
Appointments and blood work are still part of many if not all months of our reality. For being someone who went to any doctor's office maybe twice a year total to someone who goes nearly every month if not more often, it still feels weird. Anyway, I've already...
A Touch of Normal
One of the things I get asked a lot is, "Are things back to normal?" The quick most accurate answer is the one no one wants to hear. No, things are not back to normal. But rarely do I feel at liberty to say that there are still things that are hard, still disruptions...
“WARDROBE!”
You know when you were a teenager and every time you turned around your wardrobe didn't fit because you were suddenly three inches taller or twenty pounds heavier or now you had hips? That's what I currently feel like. My body has taken quite the beating over the last...
Graduation – Another “End”

Walking Back In
It's been a while since my last update. Now that I'm not spending as many days at doctor's offices or in the car running to appointments, I am back to doing all the things and that means less sitting and writing. I still have a lot to say about this journey and things...
