Loving a Miracle...

Becoming a special needs parent is challenging, & has a steep learning curve. I hope to give you a glimpse into my corner of the world, what I have learned, & what my life is like because I happen to love a miracle.

About Me

My photo
Kristina Smith Blizzard
I am a registered nurse in the state of Kentucky. I worked as an ICU nurse prior to having my children. I have devoted my life to helping my children reach their full potential, whatever that means for them. I am very blessed to be the mother of two beautiful miracles. Our journey to parenthood was long, complicated, and painful, but very worth it in the end. My son, Logan, has High Functioning Autism, and ADHD. He is one of the greatest joys of my life. His current fascination is with Godzilla, and related creatures. My daughter was born 3 1/2 months early, weighted 1 pound and 13 ounces, and had a bilateral grade 4 intraventricular hemorrhage shortly after birth, which is just a fancy way to say "a really big brain bleed." We spent 4 very difficult months in the NICU. Classic autism, and ADHD are among her long list of issues. On paper, she looks a mess. In real life, she is an amazing force to be reckoned with, happy, healthy, and improving a little every day. I hope to share with you what life is like when you love a miracle, or in my case, two.
