Post op day 7

What kind of physical therapist lets you shoot animals around the unit with Nerf darts?!?!  Our awesome Ms. Jo!  She always makes PT so fun. It was a very intentional game to get Abby to learn how to survey her environment with the halo on.  When she shot the animal, she had to feel it with her foot and kick it over to me--all quite challenging when you can't see it! It was lots of fun and she didn't even feel like she was working.  

We also played Headbanz as a family today, which was fun.  Caleb's first question was, "Am I a mystical creature?" Which made us all laugh.  That's just so Caleb!

Abby's wonderful teacher FaceTimed with her this evening, which brought smiles.  She is seriously the best!!  

While we are hoping to transfer to rehab tomorrow, there are a lot of insurance hoops still to jump through because of the holiday.  It may not be until Wednesday.  Our insurance doesn't have a rehab benefit, but it has to be submitted and denied before it can be submitted to Medicaid. None of that can happen until tomorrow because of the holiday.  

Tonight, I'm taking one last opportunity to get a decent night's sleep before heading to rehab. Caleb and I are back at RMH tonight with big plans to watch the second Harry Potter movie. :)

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 never wi

The Potty Man

By
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

By
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
