Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

Five people have found my blog by searching Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome in the last month.  Now, I'm not sure if they are people who know me who just couldn't remember the blog address, or if they are people who need to find out more information about the syndrome.  I'm hoping it's the latter because I really do want to connect with people whose children have CCMS.  If you are reading this and your child has been diagnosed, PLEASE email me!  I would love to talk with you. 

From time to time, I'll do a post with the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it will show up in Google if someone searches for the syndrome.  Between my blog and Reagan's, we just want people to know that there are real families out there dealing with CCMS!

Hi! My name is Alex Beckman, my husband and I just had a daughter (8 weeks old now) with CCMS. After looking through your blog and reading about your sweet abby, i couldn't help but contact you. I'd love to e-mail you more, even though i have never met you or your adorable family, I can relate to all you write about with joy in my heart yet tears in my eyes. The Lord IS so faithful to give us such PERFECT children. Without Him this journey would be impossible. Please e-mail me when you get a chance at alexblix@hotmail.com! Looking forward to it! Blessings! -Alex

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...
