Hello, World!

Welcome to our humble blogging experiment. If you're reading this and it's still on the front page you're probably a friend or family member, thanks for stopping by! I just wanted to get a few administrative details out of the way.

Privacy

We're currently writing under pseudonyms. I know, I know, you can't believe we aren't really named Bug, but we aren't. The reason for this is a general wariness of putting anything personal out for the entire world to see. Those of you who know us are laughing right now, but consider that we have very specific control of who sees us on the various other online services we use. Posting here we are wanting to help others by sharing our story, which necessarily means we can't pick and choose who reads our posts. This isn't a fantasy novel, but there are still trolls in this world who enjoy creating a little drama. We're not trying to hide from our friends and family, but we'd like to ask anyone who comments to please not use names or other identifiable information. Thanks!

Medical

Since this blog is to let us write about our experiences with our medically challenged child we're going to probably post medical information. We're not doctors! We can't help with your family, we can only tell you what worked or didn't work for us. This particular condition is rare, and manifests differently in different individuals. Just because we had luck or no luck with a particular treatment doesn't mean it will or won't work for you. Above all, consult with your doctors about your specific issues!

I do want to thank all our friends, family and coworkers for the love, support and pizza.
