One year ago today Jared and I received the horrible, awful news that Tyson had Mylomeningocele Spina Bifida and Charii I Brain Malformation. Unfortuntaley I will never forget the day and the series of events that took place. I remember calling my mom sobbing in the hall by the chapel on the 2^nd floor at U of U. I remember asking why heavenly father? I remember feeling that life could not get any worse and that my world was completely upside down. It was the start of a new year and start of much growth for me. It was a definitely a roller coaster. Many ups and many down. It was the year I learned the most about family, love, charity and faith. This whole month I have spent sleepless hour thinking of my sweet Tyson. Where would I be without him. I know I definitely would not be the person I am today. He has brought so much love and joy into our home. What an amazing thing that the lord chose us to care for Tyson He put all his faith in us. He has opened us up to a whole new world. He has striked this passion in me for children, moms and families with children with spina bifida and other special needs. He has made me want to reach out to the world and spread awareness about spina bifida. For a long time I have wanted to share Tyson’s story. I felt that he needed his own blog after seeing several other spina bifida babies blogs and stories. It is tysonjared.blogspot.com. It is his story I really could write novel about everything that took place put this is it in a nutshell. I also could write novel about San Francisco. Ohh my! I am so excited to go back in June. I honestly think about it every day. Today is a good day I am not in complete darkness like a felt one year ago. I am enjoying this beautiful journey we call life. If the want more info.
