He shivered so intensely that it shook the room.
“You are freaking out the baby,” I told my husband. It was probably just a fever. A bad cold with a fever. He will be fine.
But he was not fine. Four days later he was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit where he became paralyzed from [...]

On September 16, Mile High Mamas was a proud co-sponsor of Putting Kids First: A Gubernatorial Forum. In addition to important people in attendance (y’know, like Colorado’s future governor), some of Denver’s most well-respected and politically-savvy mommy bloggers were there.
