After two months of waiting, two Oklahoma infants finally get the chance to live separate lives. Their first steps, their first words, and their first experiences will take place not being attached to one another. Kylee and Preslee Wells, conjoined twins born in late October had a critical surgery done today. When I saw this headline for this article my heart warmed up and it wanted me to read more. As I was reading this article I was blown away and stunned at the fact of technology is used in situations such as these. The doctors kept family and friends updated along the way so it would be as if they were there each step of the way. What is the main way they contacted the family and friends, you ask? BLOGGING! Hospital spokesperson, Alan Poston showed viewers photos, gaves opinions on the 6 hour surgery, and posted updates on his hospital blog. Before this class I wasn’t sure exactly how important blogging is but after reading this article I have a better understanding and acceptance for this form of technology. These parents couldn’t be in the operating room during this vigorous surgery but through blogging these parents could be there for their children!

This is a great illustration of why it is so hard to say what blogging is. It covers so many things.
