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

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
