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.

Tons of toys make up this torch!!

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 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
