Comparison photos - ROHHAD and Neuroblastoma signs

So - randomly I go through photos and remember when everything was normal in our lives. Here are some photos of Haven right before everything went crazy. These are from 2006 - I have uploaded a bunch of photos to her flickr site. You can click HERE to see them.

  1. Oh Misty, I just can't imagine how frustrating it was for you at those doctor appointments. Knowing that something is wrong with your child and the doctors pushing it off as nothing, or at least nothing serious. My heart goes out to Haven, you, Kris and all the other families dealing with this horrible disease. My love to all of you.

ROHHAD in Ireland

 I received this story in my email today. It still shocks me that my daughter has ROHHAD. It's a horrible disease that destroys a child...
