Shriner’s Hospital & Children’s Hospital of L.A. (Day 130 of 365)
Monday, March 29th, 2010
Our day started today at 4am. We got up pretty early to get to Shriner’s Hospital in L.A. After getting the car packed and everyone fed and ready we departed around 6am on our way to Cali. We arrived there around 11am. We are blessed to have Shriners Children ‘s Hospital in our life. Taylor & Erin are both being seen by the Orthopedic Specialists for their hips & legs. Taylor has already had some pretty involved surgeries and now it seems that Erin is the next one up. Since I am only one person, I have chosen to concentrate on one child at a time when it comes to any advanced or involved surgeries and now that Jorden’s eye surgery is finished…it is time to figure out what Erin needs to improve and assist with making it less painful for her to walk.
A Weekend Full of Friends (Day 129 of 365)
Sunday, March 28, 2010
I am FINALLY winding down from a very busy weekend! As I wrote yesterday, it was Jase’s 40th birthday. What I couldn’t write to risk giving it away was I threw him a surprise 40th birthday party. It was an 80′s theme party that consisted of dressing up in 80′s gear, singing Karaoke to popular 80′s music and dancing the night away. It was tons of fun and Jase loved it! The coolest thing was that I actually pulled it off. He knew something was up, so I orchestrated a fake surprise party of a close net group of friends to meet for dinner on Friday night and there is when he was surprised by his best friend Josh (who lives in San Antonio, TX). So, he thought his surprise was done…but I was able to pull it off by throwing him one of the most fun birthday bashes ever! Pics soon to follow.
Celebrating! (128 of 365)
Saturday, March 27th, 2010
Today is Jase’s birthday…and I don’t know who is more excited Jase or the kiddos. They woke me up asking if they could call him. They each made him a handmade gift, and they were excited to celebrate the day with him. I can’t tell you how wonderful it makes me feel that they genuinely want someone else to be happy without me mentioning it or teaching them “how to be”. I know this sounds silly. You might be thinking…of course you want your child to care about people. AND, as a Mom who was told from the beginning her children would be different than most, smiling was a celebration! So…today I am going to keep my blog short and sweet and ask you to simply celebrate the little things that you experience with your children.
