Post op day 12

Today was a really good day!  Abby did two 4+ hour sprints, meaning that she only had her bipap on for a few hours today.  She never took a nap either!  It sounds like we are going to try keeping her off all day tomorrow and see how it goes! 

Grammy and Pop came to visit and they brought Caleb with them.  They had a great time in the play room and watching a movie.  We took a walk around the unit, which still isn't easy for Abby, but necessary.  Abby did some crafts with Grammy too, which have been fun.  

We were also finally able to leave the floor this evening!  After two weeks of not being able to go anywhere, it was nice to have a change of scenery!  We even went outside for a little while!  Abby kept asking if I was sure this was ok! 😂  (I had her portable pulse ox on her the entire time and she did great!)



We picked up a food voucher from her nurse that allowed her to eat in the cafeteria instead of ordering a tray.  She enjoyed a piece of pizza and a donut tonight!

 

We even went to the family library for a little while and read a book.  It was just so nice to be out of the room!

Tonight, she did some more coloring and we put the rest of her Lego set together.  Like her coloring position?!  Ha ha!

 

Her pain has been great today and she seemed to really enjoy being free!  Let's hope tomorrow is even better!

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...
