Amazing News!!!!

Our ENT called this morning, and Abby is officially going to get her trach out!!!!!!!!!  What's even better is that she is scheduled for SEPTEMBER 6TH...just 2 1/2 weeks away!!!!!!!!!

I quickly called Matt with the news, and we shared some tears and blubbering.  Then I listened to "Our God" three or four times in a row and blubbered a little more.  Tonight, we both blubbered through singing "Our God" at Caleb and Abby's bedtime.

I know we say it all of the time, but we are so thankful for all of the miracles that God has performed in Abby's life.  What an amazing story we have to tell, and what an easy way to share about Christ!

Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God You are higher than any other.  Our God is healer, awesome in power.  Our God!  Our God!



And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?

Julie, I am so happy for you. I know what a blessing this is for you. Than her sleep study was ok?? I know you were concerned about a few desats but it looks like it was no major problem. I am so happy for you.

Wonderful news! I can't wait to read all about it. Abbie's journey has been incredible, I love coming on here and reading about all the "she will nevers" that she proves wrong!!

On another note, we went to "meet your teacher" at Sunderland Elementary School and while in my youngest's classroom, I noticed a pic of Abbie. My daughter, Gabby, has your mom for 1st grade :-)

Dana, that is so great! My mom is an awesome teacher and Gabby will have a great year. She told me the story about you "spotting" Abby on her wall. It made me laugh! I love when people who have never even met Abby fall in love with her too. :)

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 never wi

The Potty Man

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

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
