Just hanging out!

Abby had a good day today!  She has been feeling pretty good as long as she gets Tylenol and Motrin regularly.  The "donor site" (her bottom) is sore, but she is in otherwise good spirits.

Today, she made a shark with the craft group and had music therapy.  As usual, she giggled over Mr. Pawel (her first crush!) and loved playing the ukulele.

Yesterday, Abby and Matt were able to meet the Minions and go to a special hospital showing of Despicable Me 3!  Abby was thrilled to see it!!

I loved seeing this sight as I walked down the hall!  The Minions were waving to kids on the oncology floor who were unable to come downstairs to meet them.  If you look closely, they are lining the windows.  😍




While they were at the movie, I was trained on Abby's new machines by our homecare company.  These will both fit our needs much better.  


This is me taking our new vent/bipap for a walk.  Lol!

For the weekend, we are just hanging out and trying to make the best of being in the hospital.  The wound vac should be taken out on Monday, so we are hoping the end of our latest "vacation" is near!

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...
