I 'blame' it all on Terry - Julianna Banana's Dad... I follow about 30 kiddos from the Monster Pages and beyond (one of which is Kendrie)... and celebrated triumphs of far too few and mourned the losses of far too many. But through it all - I remain steadfast in my faith... and continue to check in on the families...<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed your blog and don't always post - but always you are all in my thoughts and prayers.<BR/><BR/>When you all decided to move west... I was pleased to watch you settle into the Rockies... Having lived in CO for the better part of 40 years... it is always nice to see things from a new perspective.<BR/><BR/>I work at an elementary school here on the Front Range - and have been frustrated to read of Finn's struggles to find a good fit with a teacher. I am glad that things have worked out - but sad that it has taken so long for you to find some satisfaction.<BR/><BR/>Every child should have advocates like you and Eamonn - stay vigilant.The Professional Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029970677432171046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475456066300656845.post-81191317883778656162008-11-04T19:03:00.000-07:002008-11-04T19:03:00.000-07:00My name is Jill/Mom on the Run.

(Looking through these comments, you might owe Kristie a finder's fee!) Exactly how I got to Kendrie's CB page, I'm not sure, but I know all the Caring Bridge sites, and then all the blogs I now follow, all started with a little boy here in Minnesota who lost his battle with ATRT in February 2003.
