Pulmonary

Image
By
We had a pulmonary appointment yesterday where our Pulmonologist stressed the need for a plan for Abby from CHOP.  She echoed my frustrations from a medical standpoint.  We are really hoping that tomorrow will give us answers, but we have also gotten an appointment for Boston and are pursuing those plans.  

We keep detailed data about her oxygen levels, respiratory rates, and necessary interventions.  I took it in to our pulm and she was very happy to have it.  After examining the data and the trends, she decided that it is best for Abby to be on bipap twice a day during the day.  She reiterated the big concern for germs and the danger of her catching even a slight cold.  We have decided that Caleb will change his clothes from school as soon as he walks in the door to hopefully keep those school germs out of our house.  

So, as we already knew, no school until there are some big improvements.  Our pulm also helped us to create a plan for Abby flying to Boston, which is a new issue we didn't think we would face.  Changes in altitude and pressure can wreak havoc on kids with respiratory illnesses, but we have a plan to keep her safe.  

Please pray for our appointments tomorrow.  We are hanging out at the hospital tonight and will head to the hospital first thing in the morning.  The bottom line is that we need a plan.

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...
