Craziness

To the right of the blog is a little button that allows you to follow me.  Please do!  I like to know who is reading...I'm  nosy that way.  Also, in order to comment, you have to be a registered user.  It's not hard to do, but the reason I have it set up that way is that I had a few anonymous comments that creeped me out a bit in the past.  This way, I can see who is commenting.  The positive:  I can comment after your comments if you ask me a question or say something I want to respond to!  Yay!  :)

Tomorrow I have a big insurance meeting with my social worker and case manager to try to wade through an ocean of paper work, claims, policies, approvals, and other various kinds of red tape.  I will be spending my evening making sure I'm prepared!  It probably would have been easier if the social security, Medicaid and insurance phone calls I'd made (daily for the last week) had been returned, but I'll just have to deal with what I've got.

In other news: I didn't get to see Abby Girl too much today.  They were unfortunately transporting a very sick little guy to Hopkins most of the afternoon (it gets really crowded when that happens so parents can't come in), and then one of the nurses got sick...literally.  Yuck!  Add to that a procedure for another baby and it was pretty much a hi\Abby how's it going gotta run now I love you ba-bye kind of a day.  Hopefully things will be a little less exciting tomorrow. 

In other other news:  I am extremely humbled and thankful for the generosity of so many people.  Matt and I are speechless at the number of people who have come along side of us during this difficult time.  I'm not really sure how to truly express our thanks because a thank you note seems so trivial, but rest assured that we will be paying it forward!

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 never wi

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 most of the words to the songs, so
