Post op Day 5

By
We had another good day today.  Abby is walking more--still needing a hand, but improving every time!  She was in a great mood today and loved having Caleb with her.  She pretty much wants him right by her side st all times!

They each got to open a present this evening, as is our tradition.  Abby got some American girl Lego-type figures (they are AG brand) with accessories.  She was thrilled, of course!  Caleb got a Star Wars Death Star planetarium that projects either the Earth's solar system on the wall, or the Star Wars solar system!  He was pretty excited, but it requires a bit more set up than we can do here so he has to wait until they go home.

Abby was also all about the crafts tonight!  She made a winter charm bracelet, a penguin, a jungle bell wreath, and a nativity scene (sent by American Heritage Girls!)



 

Tonight, we continued our tradition of listening to Paw Paw read "The Night Before Christmas" before bed by listening to his recorded book over FaceTime with the Bevard family!  Modern technology is so great!

 

Caleb and Matt are back at RMH, decorating the third floor rooms with snowflakes!  Thank you so much to all who have participated.  It has been so fun spreading joy and the families just love them.  

While we missed our church's Christmas Eve service, we also know that the birth of Christ can be celebrated anywhere.  We can be just as thankful for God sending His son to for in our place here as we can at home.   The situation is not ideal, but we are together and happy.  It will be a Christmas to remember!  ❄️🎄✝️☃️

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...
