Due to a situation out of my control, I am going to make our blog private (soon). PLEASE, if you would like to continue following - facebook message, email or comment me your email address so I can personally invite you to be a reader.
I am sorry that I have to do this - because this blog is truly for my children - and I know there are TONS of amazing, genuine people out there who have diligently followed our sweet little boys. Unfortunately, there are some not-so-nice people out there as well...and we like to protect our family from that type of negativity. Our boys don't deserve to have any negativity in their life, and as parents we do all we can to keep them surrounded by love & genuine friends/family. We want nothing from, and nothing to do with people who are unkind.
There's a possibility that I may have a limit as to how many people I can add as a preferred reader, and if that's the case I am sorry... once again, if it was up to me I would keep the blog public. But for now it just has to be this way :( Sadly, it is really our boys who suffer when people decide to be unkind... I have shared their stories since their birth, and I know many people love and adore them. I hope I can continue to share their story with all of you who truly care!
So please, send me your info and I will add you to my readers list - because soon this blog will be private. Boo!

Hi,
You don't "know" me but I have read your blog for the last several months. I think I started reading shortly after you had Ty. I don't know if you have room to keep me as a reader but I would love to be included if you do.
My email is cmanthony@verizon.net
Thanks!
it's so sad that people feel the need to express every opinion they have - especially on someone's personal blog! I'm sorry you have to go private, but it's fully understandable. i would love to keep following if that's ok. not sure how I found your blog, but I have been reading since Ty was born. I'm a mom of 4 and grandma of 2 - one of whom has Sturge Weber Syndrome. my email is ymi717@yahoo.com - thank you!
I know you don't know me personally, but I have been following Aidan's and Ty's story for a while now and pray for your family often. I would like to continue reading your blog, but I understand if you can't include me because of possible limitations... Just know that I will continue to pray for your boys, the new little one to come and for you and your husband..

I, too, am very sorry you must privatize your blog. I'm sure it would be a great help for any other new or not-so-new mothers with children that have the same issues as your little guys.
I don't understand mean people. Why in the world do they feel the need to read or comment on a blog they don't like???? No one is making them read it. Alas, there are no easy answers.
I've been keeping up with you since Aidan was a few months old and I'd like to continue on if there is room.

P.S. Sorry people are not being nice. Life is hard enough without people heaping on criticism and unkind words.
I'm praying for you and your family and wish only the best for you all. People who are unkind have a burden only they can understand - I've never been able to relate to someone who feels the need to judge people when we all have our own problems and situations! I've followed your family for some time now and would love to continue if you have space; if not, I totally understand! Love and prayers your way! Kristi

Stephanie~
I have been following your blog and the story of your little men since just before Ty was born. I am sorry to hear that you now feel the need to make your blog private, but as a mom, you need to do what is necessary to protect your family. I would be honored to continue to watch your little men grow, and to eventually "meet" the new little brother, but as your space is limited, I certainly understand if you need to keep the slots for others.
Blessings~

I would love to be included. I have been reading for a long time but I almost never comment. It is so sad that people can be so unkind. My baby niece is also a child with multiple challenges as she has a severe chromosomal disorder, so I love to read how other families deal with the challenges that come with this and try to be the best help to my sister.
Anyway, I would love to be included on your list. I have no blog myself so unfortunately you can't read up on me but now that I wish you nothing but the best and can't wait for the new little baby!

Thanks for adding me, Stephanie. I read through most of these comments, and love how people you have never even met are falling in love with your boys and pray for your family! This just shows that there are some great people in the world still!
I'd love to be added. I've been ready since about the time Ty was born and I'd love to keep up with your family. My little boy Joshua had an encephalocele and microcephaly -- he didn't make it -- but I love reading about how your boys are thriving!
Just wanted to leave the comment wihtout the address .... since you decided to remain public, I didn't want my address out there for a bunch of people to see. :)
I have been following your blog since right before Tyler was born. I'm not sure how I stumbled across your blog.
