Naitalie learns how Lincoln and Aiden became NAIT survivors and enjoys outdoor adventures..

This morning we met with two local newspaper reporters.  I learned all about Lincoln's diagnoses with NAIT and the treatment he received. The reporters were very interested in this disease that not many are aware of.  (Article links below) You can read about the "MacCallum/Drake" story on the naitbabies.org website under "Our stories" the website link is on the upper right of this page.  After School, I was very exited to hear the kids suggest we go for a walk in the woods.  It was a bit chilly but Lincoln kept me warm with his blanket.  He also held me back from fishing in a river we came across. My favorite part of the day, was learning about a special memorial place made in memory of baby Dennis which can be seen from both boys bedroom windows. After joining the nait social group and meeting wonderful people who also have angel babies, they have learned of many ways to keep his memory alive and this helps with grieving his loss. I am a very lucky bear to be visiting these families. Our article in The Guardian News Paper http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/News/Local/2011-10-28/article-2788041/Mother-fighting-for-prenatal-screening-of-blood-disease/1
