Blog Detail
To The Max
http://www.lovethatmax.blogspot.com
This is a blog about my six-year-old, Max, who had a stroke at birth (yes, babies can have strokes) and has cerebral palsy as a result. He has done so much better than the doctors ever said he would. This blog is here to encourage other parents of special-needs kids; share resources and ideas; vent; and try to see the light side of things.

Help! I can\'t stop organizing! Plus, the first Special Needs Swap Shop
Lately, I have been on an organizing bender:• I organized the piles of paper in our attic/office, some of which dated back to 2000. • I organized the three cabinets in the living room wall unit (aka The Black Holes).• I organized the kitchen pa...
Encore performance: Max & Sabrina sing "Part of Your World"
This is the first time I ever heard Max sing an entire song, and it made me cry. He's totally carrying a tune—well, as much tune as Sabrina is carrying, anyway. I was also astounded to see him and Sabrina getting along for three whole minutes. Joan...
