A Letter to My Daughter

My dear, sweet, Abby Joy,

What. A. Year!  This time last year, we honestly weren't sure if you would be here for your 8th birthday.  What a mighty God we have who has healed you and allowed you to flourish in the last 6 months!!  You have come such a long way, and we are so grateful.

While you started out your 7th year a bit rough and pretty limited in what you could do, in April you returned to school and were able to finally join your 1st grade class in person! 




You finished out the year LOVING every second of school, and then started the summer with an amazing trip to Alaska! 

Your favorite memories of the trip a meeting the sled dog puppies and going to Kids Club on the ship.

We had an awesome summer and played so hard!  You participated in a theater camp and a camp through Therapeutic Recreation.  It was so good to see you playing again.





Your second grade year has started out great and you are loving your teacher.  Of course, your awesome one-on-one is by your side every step of the way!  We sure do love Mrs. D.!

This year, you are taking dance lessons, piano lessons, and swim lessons!  You are busy and loving it!  We have been amazed at how well you are doing with your swimming, and so quickly!  You haven't had much of a chance to get in the water with all of your surgeries, so we are thankful you are enjoying yourself.


Thankfully, you have had a nice break from surgeries to allow your body to heal and recover from all of the trauma it had.  While you still don't enjoy the blood work you have to get, we are so thankful that the infections have stayed away!

I am so proud to call you my daughter and am amazed that God chose me to be your mom.  My favorite thing about you is your laugh.  It is pure and without restraint, and oh, so contagious!!  You love fiercely and aren't afraid to show it.  Despite the challenges you have had, you truly are a joyful little girl.  I am so thankful for your life!

8 is going to be GREAT!  I love you, Sweetness!

Love,
Momma

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

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...
