What's that CMV stand for anyway?
Charming Model Valentine?
Campy Manchurian Ventriloquist?
No, it's CytoMegaloVirus, and you can learn all about it by clicking on the link.
I'm in the process of editing all my posts entitled "Elliot's Health" to include CMV. If you've found this blog by googling CMV, please visit the archived posts to learn about our story.
His is one of the faces of this condition or disease or impairment or whatever it's supposed to be called. Elliot is amazing, inspiring, and besides all that...he's the best of all: He's just a regular, beautiful kid.

I'm so glad you posted this, so that you can connect CMV with your family blog, and show people that it's only one tiny piece of your life puzzle. It doesn't define you, or your family, or that sweet little angel boy, Elliot.
I think of a scared new mommy who is Googling CMV (as she was probably told not to do...just like you were told) and how terrifying "those" sites can be.
And then I think of that new mommy coming across your blog, and seeing Elliot,and reading about his favorite foods (SOLIDS!)...his first steps (and now RUNS) and his AMAZING vocabulary (Amama!!) and it will be her breath of fresh air.
WE love you Elliot!! And we are SOO proud of you, little man!
