Meet the Hedgers

Throught the wonderful world of the world wide web (say that 3 times fast), I had the opportunity to meet Lisa and her daughter Liz a 3 year old with achondroplasia. As you will see for yourself, Liz is absolutely adorable. They live in Northwest Indiana a couple of hours from Chigaco. Thank you Lisa for letting me add your page! The Hedger Adventures

I'm confused? Do you live in Chicago? I have been to Minooka twice in the past year, my best friend just built a house there, and I am going back in February. If you are in Chicago - we will have to get together.

Our Story

Our story is a both normal and extraordinary. My son Owen, had a dramatic beginning. Days before he was born, doctors diagnosed him with lethal skeletal dysplasia and he was given a life expectancy of minutes to hours.

Their original diagnosis would prove wrong and he was assessed to have Achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism.
If you'd like a raw backstory, this is a good place to start:
The Letters

This blog's genesis had several motivations. I needed an outlet for my sorrows, joys and confusion. I needed an avenue to meet people. I needed to try and let others know that they were not alone. I am happy to say all of my needs were fulfilled.

The poor blog has been neglected as of late because my desire for cathartic expression became less and less as I melded into the folds of everyday life. As a first time mother, I realized that I wouldn't know the difference between raising a average height son vs raising a dwarf son. Interestingly enough, the birth of my second son Liam has highlighted some of those long forgotten struggles.

I make no promises as to the frequency (or quality) of my writing but can only promise that when I do it will be honest.
