Sammy turns 1! |
In reflecting on Sam's first year this weekend, Esther and I both felt like we had aged 3 years in the last year alone. I think I have a gray hair for each of the last 365 days. Not that I'm complaining...
Truthfully, though, we are grateful beyond words to be celebrating Sam's first birthday. He is such a joy to be around, and he truly adds a dynamic to our family that we can't imagine living without.
Though we have no idea what even the next year will bring, we are braced and ready to go.
Dr. Belani (infectious diseases doc) ran into Dr. Steven Holland (world expert on Hyper-IgE) at a conference this fall and he asked about Sam. He is looking forward to meeting our family next summer, as we plan to drive out to Maryland for some tests and to hopefully put together a care plan for Sam. Sam is one of the youngest confirmed-positive cases of Job's syndrome, so they are anxious to confirm if the case is sporadic or if it is carried recessively in our families somewhere.
