Write31Days I am so excited to take the challenge of writing for 31 days! I had this goal set last year when I went to the Declare Conference, but haven’t made the time to do so. I heard about this challenge after attending the Declare Conference again in August and decided that now is the […]
July 2015 Medical Update
Tonight as we sat in the living room before bed, Nathan started giving us some riddles to solve. The kids absolutely loved it! I was impressed with how many they figured out on their own. Ruth Ann had a grand old time shouting out random answers and Josiah enjoyed building with his magnet blocks and […]
Shoe Shopping
For anyone who knows me well, I am not a fan of shoe shopping. Well, the experience has worsened! On May 19th, we picked up Josiah’s new AFO brace. (AFO = ankle-foot-orthotic) You’ve just learned a new medical term – welcome to my world! This is Josiah’s third brace, but the first two were fairly small and […]
June 2015 MRI
MRI results were good! It did show a possible sinus infection, but we were prepared for that, considering all the coughing and snot running out of his nose! 🙂 We started out the morning by sleeping in! Because the MRI was in the afternoon and he could eat/drink until 9:00am, we had no reason to […]
May 13, 2015
It is finally summer break! I’m not sure who is more excited – me or the kids. I can’t say that our summer is going to be any less busy than our school year, but it does mean no lesson plans or assignments to complete! Grace and Samuel have been in Branson with my parents […]
MRI-March 2015
Late night and early morning! I woke up with Josiah at 3:30 this morning to give Josiah his medicine and give him one last chance to eat and drink. He did eat, and thankfully was okay with going back to bed around 4. We were up again at 5:30 to get ready and be at […]
February 2015 Medical Update
We’ve had quite a bit happen already this month, so I’m updating a bit early! February 4th Josiah had a series of appointments. The nice thing was that we went into one exam room and stayed there and all the specialists came to us. He saw his rehabilitation doctor, an occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech […]
January 2015 Medical Update
I realized about half way through January that I never did write a December update. So backtracking a bit… December started with an MRI and surgery to place a tube in Josiah’s right ear. The MRI showed “No evidence of disease”. The following week we were back at the hospital, but this time instead of […]
November 2014
Aside from all the doctor’s appointments, we had plenty more going on in the month of November. On November 1st, we were honored to attend Jefferson City Cross-fit’s fundraiser they had put on for Josiah. It was called “Journey for Josiah” and they raised money for us to purchase gym mats for our basement play […]
October 2014 Medical Update
I didn’t really have a reason to post a September medical update, since the only thing that happened was the MRI, which I had already written about. Time has also been an issue with getting some writing done. I was surprised at how challenging the months of September and beginning of October were for me. […]
