Keepin' it Real

Remember our great night as a family?  Here are a few pictures of our very normal, very average, very incredible family dinner.  Please ignore the mess.  We've been slightly preoccupied.

The pics are great -almost exactly how I had pictured it in my mind. I truly admire you all. But, Julie -your writings on this blog are outstanding and I admire that you are able to continue with it now--especially with Abby being home--but-oh how wonderful that must feel to have her home!! :) Isn't our God wonderful!! Sandy Murphy
p.s. Abby seems so alert, watching all of you at dinner, she is soooo adorable.!!

Julie - if you get a chance to answer a question: Will Abby always have a trach? While I realize that our Lord can and DOES heal!! Praise God! and with Him any situation can change - I'm wondering about the future as it looks now.

Thanks for the pics - especially the video of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes! It helps me to see that Abby is just like any other little girl. She is so cute (as is Caleb!). Mrs B.

I am so happy for you guys, we have been praying for you and little Abby. Also, your house IS NOT MESSY! There are much messier houses out there without such a good,(and cute), excuse!

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...
