Hello....Happy 2011 and welcome to the new Gurry blog. When I started Taylor's original blog, we had just found out about her ACC, and I wanted a good way to communicate updates to our family and close friends. As time went by, I let the blog slide for a number of reasons.
1. I didn't have regular updates on her condition - as we have found out over the last 2.5 years, her condition is not an urgent medical condition, but instead, a condition that she will manage her entire life. It really is a marathon, not a sprint, and most days, there aren't major updates to report. Progress is very slow and steady.
2. Over time, I felt guilty that Taylor had her own blog and Lauren and Jake did not - although they were frequently featured. And, it also became increasingly clear that ACC affects our whole family and this is a journey we will take together.
3. Mostly, our lives are so much more than ACC, or any health condition, can define us. So, this blog will highlight the breadth of our experiences - the good, the bad, the funny, the frustrating.....this approach will be more enjoyable for me, and hopefully for you.
So, new year, new blog - I hope you enjoy it.
