Happy Presidents Day 2011. For some a meaningless holiday, but non the less a day off right? For us its an anniversary! 8 Years ago today {presidents day} we headed into an ultrasound {with the never forgotten dr glenn schemmer}, THE ultrasound that changed our lives. This was also the day that we began enrollment into the study. This time of year always brings serious reflection back for us but even more so with the timing of the conclusion of the study! Just a week & a half or so ago i was flooded with emails, texts, and phone calls as the study concluded and went public. It was everywhere, the today show, cnn, new york times, newsweek, every media outlet you could consider, even our local BYU news station called for an interview. The study had a surprising outcome for me. Of course i was thrilled by the findings and filled with gratitude but i also am concerned about the facets the media is not mentioning. But it appears that this will indeed be a viable treatment option, and wasnt that the goal all along? to contribute to a better life for not just my own daughter, another option for treatment. I feel accomplished i must admit for the small role i played in the bigger plan. It seems like so long ago, yet like yesterday. Its hard to believe that my little angel was the first born, and here it is 8 years later, concluded. Amazing!
