All about Lizzy's life and my life as Lizzy's caregiver. Lizzy has Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 and is a miracle! She has NEVER been able to stand, walk or sit(with out assistance). She is such an amazing child with the determination to over come many of her battles with this terrible disease. She is a happy child and is always smiling.

Weight gain and growing(Spinal Muscular Atrophy)
Lizzy had a check up here yesterday and she is 29 pounds!! and 44 inches. Now, just think about this ..... less than a month ago she was at Madison and weighed 27 pounds and was 41 1/2 inches!! I am a thinking that its the donor breast milk from the donors that have been helping us out getting Lizzy what she needs. It seems she is stronger and just doing awesome. I am telling you I am a " Believer in Breast Milk for Type 1 SMA babies/kids " Lizzy is the "proof" It is the reason Lizzy is gaining and doing so well. I had upped her when she was sick to 20 ounces then had her on 16-18 ounces a day after that. I just cut her back a bit because since October she has gained about 7 pounds. Amazing. That you to all wonderful Mom's that have donated your Milk to Lizzy. I think its the most wonderful gift you can give and to share it takes a special person
Lizzy has an IEP coming up. We have a new coordinator for special needs here so lets pray they let us do the video conferencing.
Paul still has not got a job and we have applied EVERY where for jobs for him and not too many places are interested. I am not sure why. Is it his age? He was a great worker. He is driving me insane being home all the time. Its like I lost all my rights to watch any shows on TV. Him and Brandon play that Play X box 3 (Brandon Lizzy's Dad) and Its history channel 24/7 or combat games onlines. So, I do not get a chance to get online much or watch TV. Thank goodness its spring and we can get outside.
Many prayers for the newly diagnosed families , sick kids and ones that have lost loved ones. May God give you the strength you need to get through the days ahead.
We believe in miracles.
