The Bottom Line
I first heard this from an Elementary School class I visited for a radio event. If 5th graders can get it, why can’t the rest of us?
THE BOTTOM LINE
FACE IT, Nobody owes you a living.
What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime,
is directly related to what you do,
or fail to do…
No one chooses his parents or childhood,
but you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has...

Isabelle Has Infantile Spasms... Officially
Tessie and I just got home (mom is still at the hospital with Isabelle) so forgive me if this is short. It’s been a long day. But I wanted to give you a quick update.
As we had feared, the second neurologist confirmed after today’s long EEG that Isabelle does have infantile spasms, which I wrote about here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150285379418351. (If you suspect somebody you...
Isabelle is Going to the Hospital
My wife and I just returned from seeing Isabelle’s pediatric neurologist.
First of all, the enormity of that sentence just hit me. Nobody takes their kid to see a pediatric neurologist when everything is going well. You don’t just wake up one morning and say to your spouse, “hey, let’s take the kid in to see the pediatric neurologist to show him how awesome our kid’s noggin’ is!”

Isabelle's New Medication
Just a quick update on Isabelle’s condition since she’s being diagnosed with Infantile Spasms.

Isabelle Medical News
Despite the diagnosis of Down Syndrome, Isabelle was doing exceptionally well when it came to social development in her first six months. She was an alert, smiling, happy baby. Then five months ago things started to change. Subtlety at first; she became more lethargic, smiled less, and wouldn’t make eye contact as much. Then there were the flinches. From time to time her whole body would bend as...
Saying Goodbye to Fenway.
2004 was quite a year.
It was the year I married the love of my life. It’s also the year that my beloved Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in multiple generations. It was the first year I ever saw a game at Fenway Park in Boston, which happened to be Game 2 of the World Series. And it was the year we adopted our dog, Fenway.
My wife and I decided one fall day to go to the Seattle...

Isabelle's All-Stars
As you probably know, my youngest daughter Isabelle who was born last year has Down Syndrome. Last year was our first Buddy Walk, just weeks after she was born. A lot has happened since then and we’re really looking forward to this celebration of our beautiful little girl.
Blessings,
Randy
