4 Years Old - Moving On

We had a small group of friends over for the kids' fourth birthday party yesterday. It's hard to imagine that 4 years ago our lives changed forever. This was Sofia's long awaited trach-free birthday and she celebrated it with her friend Kai-Lan! And by running around the house with Daniel! Both kids are fully recovered from their road trip and are loving being back at school. As are their parents. This week we will have a small memorial for Raymond by planting another plant in his memory. And we thought that this is an appropriate time for us to "close" the blog. There are still many challenges ahead: getting Sofia off her feeding tube and eating solid food, getting her talking, Daniel improving his social and verbal skills, and all of the regular things 4 year olds need! But the big, crazy challenge of keeping Sofia alive these past four years has been accomplished thanks to help from our family, friends, doctors, nurses, neighbors and of course support from our blog readers. The adventure will continue on, so if you haven't already please friend mommy at Christine Maltese Yang on Facebook, for the ongoing saga of the Yang triplets. Ted + Christine
