One Week Post-Decannulation

Image
By
After a week of being trach free, here are some new things about Abby:

*  She took her first bath with water in the tub on Wednesday.  The girl LOVED it!  She splashed and laughed the entire time, giving me quite a mess to clean up!  It was so worth it to see her so happy.  It's exciting that she can do that now that the hole is closed up!

*  Abby sings all of the time now!  She never did any singing when she had her trach, but she started singing just a few hours after getting it out.  That evening, I asked if she wanted to sing a song and she la-la-ed something very close to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!  She now la-las all of the time, and I LOVE IT.  LOVE it.  This was one of the things I was most looking forward to with her decannulation.  It is so sweet!

*  We went to the ophthalmologist today and he confirmed that she needs glasses.  Her eye has started drifting and she's nearsighted.  (We already knew this, but he was holding off because of the whole throwing stage thing!)  We're now on the hunt for some cute toddler glasses!

Awwww, Gabby had glasses as a toddler. Her favorite color is pink so we got some cute pink wire ones. She loved them. But, she got sick of them and would hide them all the time :-/ Good luck finding the perfect pair, little ones look so cute in glasses!!

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...
