10 Things

10 things running through my head right now...

1.  I made it through two consecutive days at school with only a few gray hairs and one massive paper cut.

2.  What do you say when someone new to RMH asks if your child (as in Caleb) has sensory issues (as in autism)?  Um, no, he's just really good at throwing tantrums.

3.  We have been blessed beyond measure by the generosity of so many people.  HUGS!

4.  I'm convinced that anything Mrs. Cain makes is bound to be good.  :)

5.  Not too many people get a glimpse of what their house would look like if they died.  I did.  It's not pretty.

6.  Caleb just renamed his favorite blanket "Peace and Quiet."  I need one of those too.

7.  While I usually love snow, the prospect of my family being split on Christmas (with Matt being at home, Caleb and me being here, and Abby being at MW) has me very upset.  I want us all to be together, in the same room, without gowns, masks, or gloves, on Christmas.

8.  I've had a few Debbie Downer days, which is unlike me.  This is all just really wearing on me. 

9.  I'm pretty impressed that I drove up here by myself in the dark for the first time and didn't have one bit of trouble.

10.  I miss my girl.  I haven't seen her since Sunday and couldn't go tonight because I have Caleb by myself and we're trying to protect him from the germs.  I can't wait for tomorrow!!

Big huge hugs on all of the above! I second the thought that you need a "peace and quiet" blanket! Each moment apart is another moment closer. Tell that Abby girl I said "Hi." I know you'll be smothering her with OXOX of your own but throw one or two in there for me too if you don't mind! :0)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
