Cedar was diagnosed at six weeks old with a mitochondrial disorder. For the following few months, we enjoyed his bright blue eyes, ready smile, and baby conversations. Early May, Cedar started to regress followed by two hospital stays. The last five months, we had the privilege of caring for Cedar at home through ups and downs. We find comfort in knowing that Cedar is running the streets of Heaven in his new body!
