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.
