When the little one gets the whole wakeboarding thing like a champ. Perfect end to a manic Monday.

10 years ago was really the start of my advocacy journey and finding a taste of success. The article below was published in July 2015 on the #NICHD website, elevating HIE awareness to a bigger audience.

How it started.
How it’s going.

Happy 13th to the coolest kid I’ve ever known.

And I get to spend time at #PAS2025 with some of the pioneers in cooling who are a part of why he’s here today and living his best life.

#HIEawarenessmonth is in its TENTH YEAR -- how??? Why???

Because there was NO awareness, advocacy, or support for HIE families before families and leader in @hopeforhie.org stepped up for a community that historically had been excluded from #NICU advocacy, QI, representation, research and more.

I’ve been coming to this place since I was an infant with snowbird grandparents. I have such a love/loathe for FL.

Enjoy a picture looking out past the Pink Palace into the Gulf of Mexico.

When the school therapy dog forces her head in your lap during the IEP… Daisy Mae just gets me. 😂🐾

The IEP went very well, but it always brings extra anxiety.

Over on the other app, there’s some discussion of lumping death with severity as an outcome measure. We know #NDI needs an overhaul. Lumping moderate #HIE, or even severe, with death is diabolical.

Moderate HIE attached:

For anyone in or around #NYC on June 26th, please consider attending and supporting this incredible piece by fellow @hopeforhie.org parent, Laura Sanchez. "Welcome to Holland?" is in reference to a popular poem about raising a child with disabilities.
