Prayer Requests

If you've noticed, I haven't been writing as much recently.  Perhaps that's because I'm just a little busy these days!!  :)  I do have some prayer requests though:

* Abby will continue to grow strong and stay out of the hospital!


* We have two doctors appointments next week. One is an opthomology appointment to check her optic nerves. Pray that they are developing and that she won't need any more intervention than glasses! The other is a GI appointment to check her g-tube and hopefully they will increase her feeds so that she'll grow some more!

*  We will continue to adjust to having people in our house day in and day out.  It is not easy, and especially not for a control freak like me.

*  Caleb will open up and share his feelings with us.  We've had a few conversations with him that have led us to believe that there's a lot more going on in his head than he lets on.

*  Matt and I will be able to spend time together every now and then.  This is really hard because of the nursing hours and all of the stuff we have to do.  We did manage to get away for a few hours on Sunday afternoon, which was much needed.  It's been a long 5 months.

*  We will either be able to get more rest or some kind of IV caffeine drip!  :)  Hey, they do it for babies!  Yeah, we're both really tired...all of the time.

I'm hoping to have some time to write a thoughtful post sometime soon when I have some time.  Until then, there are a few more photo posts on the way.  :)

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...
