   Here’s hoping you get all the support you need. I’m definitely trying to send some positive vibes to you all from my end. My mother has always said that in times of crisis or whatever it is you want to call it, the best thing you can do is show up, and I hope that the friends who are physically close to you all will do that for you. By that I mean, dropping someone a quick phone call to say hello or to say that you’re getting coffee, would you like some. I think we all wonder if we get ‘in the way’, but a quick 5 minute thing can really do wonders….

   I see Ben in Nico’s eyes so much in the photo of Nico standing and I just know that Ben is going to come out a true “Superhero” through all of this! I have been following your blog for awhile now and also know that you will come through it all with grace! My prayers are with you! I cannot believe how “grown up” Nico looks already!

   Thanks, Andrea. This inspires me. It is modeling for us how we could face the challenges in our lives. Gratitude. Always a choice. Thank you for that.
   Been thinking of you and Ben for days, sending love and best wishes. Hoping your “peeps” and support system remain close at hand.
   Love the Nico pics! Such gorgeous little men you got there ;). Take good care..

   You look extremely happy and peaceful too. I don’t know what the experience you are going through is like but I can imagine (having gone through other types of hard times) that sometimes ‘knowing’ has its own release. And release can be quite powerful.
   The best to you and yours (your people)
   Namaste, carey

   You, your baby, your story and words are beautiful.
   I wish Ben many, many seizure-free days.

    “Room for all of it…” Amen! Nico looks a bit like Ben in that first photo. How blessed you are!!
    ps… that is a really cool picture of your boots, as I’ve never seen them other than the “toes” part. I had no idea they were cool all the way up your legs! hee!!

    Andrea, you and the boys look just darling and isn’t it fun to see Nico growing so fast and Ben, so full of life! I am proud of all of you! xo Auntie Judy
    PS: I would like to share my favorite expression that I used all through the years: “This too will pass”

    I somehow stumbled upon your blog and these gorgeous photos of you and your baby. May your sweet boy do well on his medication. My heart goes out to him and to you.
