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

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
