Great News!

Looooove good news days!!!!  

We came to Philly last night for appointments today and tomorrow.  We got into RMH, so Abby enjoyed playing with another little girl and racing remote control cars in the playroom.  

Today, Abby had a CT scan, X-rays, orthopedics, and plastic surgery.  Obviously, our biggest concern was Abby’s lung volumes and the future of her chest wall reconstruction.  

Abby’s lung volume on the right side (the side that has no veptr) has improved significantly!!  Dr. Campbell is really happy and we can schedule an expansion for the left side for August!  Her plastic surgeon was also pleased with her back healing!  Woo hoo!!  We are absolutely thrilled and thankful for the healing God has been doing in her little body!  

To celebrate after a busy morning of appointments, we visited the Please Touch Museum.

The baby needed an MRI :)






We found a fantastic old fashioned ice cream parlor with 25 different flavors of soda and homemade ice cream.  Abby thoroughly enjoyed hers! 🤣



Now we are hanging out back at RMH until dinner.  The therapy dogs are coming tonight and Abs is so excited!! 😍

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...
