Before having Aiden, I was never really in to reading blogs and I most certainly would have never saw myself writing one of my own. With that being said, I actually find having a blog to be refreshing for my situation and I have come to enjoy it. I still do not spend hours reading blogs but I have come to find several that I enjoy reading and some that I feel empowered to pass on to those that read my blog.
Yesterday, a friend of mine from my support group posted a blog about a baby who was born in her town with a rare skin condition called Harlequin Ichthyosis. Of course, I am immediately hooked and interested to learn about this. Well, as soon as I start reading, I realize that I am completely unprepared to read this story. This story of this sweet baby girl named Brenna is heartbreaking to say the least. She is close to six weeks old and has endured things in her life that are so hard to wrap my head around. I found her story so compelling that I read every single post in pretty much one sitting. It's hard to explain the emotions that poured through me while reading this so I encourage you to check out the story yourself. Just read the very first post that this mother wrote about her sweet baby girl and trust me, you will want to read the rest. I do recommend bringing out your kleenex though because it is a tough read but inspiring and hopeful at the same time.
Please feel free to share her story with your friends and family. Just like with Aiden's condition, the more people who know about Brenna and her condition, the better off all of us will be.
