Because of all James’ medical issues, and not knowing how long he will be with us, Stacy thought it would be nice to have some family pictures taken. She found a photographer that came to our condo and took a lot of really nice pictures. Too many to share here, but I will share some of the better ones.

In the first few pictures, I am wearing a shirt that says, “My son had a STROKE…before he was born”. It’s hard to read, but just below that is “KidsHaveStrokes.org”. The doctors believe that James had a stroke before he was born, which may be the cause of many of his medical issues. If you have a child that has had a stroke, or know of someone who has, KidsHaveStrokes.org is a good resource.
