Melissa–Just saw your post on the 31DBBB forum from a few months back….I too am blogging about special needs. My son has an “ultra rare” kidney disorder called AHUS. You are awesome and your daughter is beautiful! Good job, mama! I’m following you now

What a beautiful girl! And what a journey. Just found your blog and can’t wait to read more about Ava’s love of dance. My son loves music and we would love to jump into it feet first, as you have done with Ava.
