Getting Updates

Remember that if you would like to receive email updates of blog posts, all you need to do is send me an email at juliebleach@yahoo.com.  I will add you to my blog group and you'll start getting the posts emailed to you.  Just "following" my blog on the right hand side of the screen won't get you the updates.

Also, I apologize now for the lack of posting that will be going on this weekend.  Today, we have meetings and more nursing interviews.  Tomorrow is Caleb's birthday party, Sunday is Caleb's actual birthday, and Monday my supply company will be bringing our first delivery.  I'll be home for the better part of the weekend, in a land where there is no internet. 

*gasp*

Yes, I am remedying this as quickly as possible.  If we are never going to leave the house again, I need to have internet so that I can order the essentials...like grape soda and crab chips.

I have tons of pictures that need to be loaded, edited, and posted, but no time to do it.  I promise to take lots of pictures of Caleb's party and our supplies (I've heard it's boxes upon boxes of stuff!), but I can't promise that I will be posting more pictures in a timely manner.  There's a lot that is taking precedence right now....like, pretty much anything that is going to get my girl home!

Dear Ms Leach,
Have been trying to keep up with Abby's progress since she left UMMS. So happy for your family when I heard she will be going home. She is a fighter and there is no doubt where she gets those traits from...Good luck, our thoughts and prayers are with you :)

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 never wi

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 most of the words to the songs, so
