A better week for a change (Spinal Muscular Atrophy)

Well, its cold here with snow again. Mother Nature teased us last week with nice weather for few days.

Lizzy is doing great. She had a busy week. Monday she went to Hog Chapter meeting in Peoria for the MDA to introduce herself . Tuesday, she saw Tony Plattner to get her TLSO and AFOs made and he is going to help figure out how to help her contractures. on her elbows. Yes, she picked leopard again. Wednesday she has swim therapy (With Monica) and did totally awesome. She was swimming on her belly and just doing so great. She seems to keep getting stronger and stronger !! Thursday she had speech (with Allison) and did so great at a language assessment test and shocked me she is so smart. OMG!! We are going to ISU soon to assess Lizzy on communication devices/ computer tech thanks to Allison.

Papa got the rest of his teeth pulled Friday and says her never felt better. No signs of the infection her had last week. He says he has not felt this good in years. No pain no swelling and he feels great. He used his whole years worth of dental insurance for teeth and over a 1000.00 . It had to be done. He was so sick last week. Hopefully. this will help his sugar levels.

Thank you for all the prayers for us. I pray that after March 2, he has a job and the new owners will accept the current contract. So, far your prayers have helped us because they had postponed the auction and now there is other companies interested in buying Interlake. We still do not know the future.

I am still watching my great niece and its been pretty busy around here.

Today is Dawn's birthday and last Thursday was Jessica's. Next Tuesday is Calib and Rachael's. Its a busy birthday month!! The doctor said Dawn can go at any time so maybe another birthday this month?

We cancelled our appointment with DR.Schroth till March 27. Too much illness up there right now for us to feel comfortable taking Lizzy up there.

Many special Prayers for the sick kids. We hear Sydney C is so very sick, Jacob was reintubated, we hear Courtney Smith is in the hospital in Madison , Ally is Chicago also had RSV and Prayers for all the sick kids. Addy is doing great and ready to come home on Monday.
