10 Things

Image
By
1.  Our pulminary appointment was anticlimatic.  It was supposed to be the magical appointment that gave us the answers to all of life's questions (or at least a lot of questions that we had about Abby's development!) but it didn't.  We've come to the conclusion that no one really knows what to do with Abby and therefore no one wants to take responsibility for her.  :o/ 

2.  I am super excited about my first giveaway!  Stay tuned for more details probably next week.  I'm hoping that this will be the first of many for you wonderful blog readers and stalkers!

3.  Today was the BIG test for which I've been studying for the last month.  The real test wasn't nearly as difficult overall as the practice test I took, so I'm hoping for good results.  We'll find out in a month!

4.  I found a new consignment shop owned by some SLES parents.  It's very fun with good prices, so if you are local, check out Cleaning Out Our Closets!  :)

5.  We are a third of the way through MSA testing (5th grade has science too!)  What a stressful time for teachers and students!

6.  This week, I made appointments with the orthopaedic surgeon, an oral stimulation consultation, cranial technology consultation, ENT, and the chief of pediatric surgery (to talk about her ribs.)  We seriously have an average of one appointment a week.  Either gas prices need to drop dramatically or we need to move closer to Baltimore!

7.  Abby's dedication date has been set!  There will be many tears of JOY on May 15th! 

8.  Amazon needs to start an actual online grocery store.  Until then, I am forced to drive to Giant.

9.  Abby blew through a diaper last night like nobody's business.  It was spectacular.  It would have been even better if it hadn't been all over a brand new outfit that she'd worn all of 10 minutes!!

10.  Somebody is letting Caleb watch MTV when we're not around.  Seriously, I don't know where he gets these moves of his.  It's a little concerning...

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 ...

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 m...
