Prayer Requests

Image
By
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who faithfully pray for us.  It is so wonderful to know that so many people love and support us.  As our home date nears, we have some specific prayer requests for you.

*  Abby will continue to be stable enough to go home.

*  Our nursing agency will find qualified, capable nurses that are willing to travel to our area.  This has been a real problem.  So many times, nurses say they travel to our county only find out that we live at the bottom (another 40 minutes) and say no.  I'll be so frustrated if the reason Abby has to stay in the hospital longer is because they can't get the necessary staffing. 

*  The transition home will be smooth for all of us and that we will be able to thoroughly enjoy having Abby home with us.

*  We will all adjust well to strangers being in our home and that we will all have a common goal of providing Abby with top-notch care.  God apparently decided to teach me a little about flexibility and depending on others.  This is SO not me!!!

* Abby will have all of the necessary equipment and supplies--specifically, that the generator will be installed.



*  We will be able to be at peace with whatever career decisions are made.  This has been heavy on our minds recently.

Julie, The mom's Bible Study group I am in has been praying for your family. I will be sure to mention the specifics you have asked for when I go to Bible Study tomorrow. We continue to lift your family up in prayer. Your faith shines through in all you write. Have a blessed day!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
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!!

By
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

By
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
