Been a Great Start to Summer!




Doesn't Lizzy look awesome? She has grown and filled out so good these last few months!! Thank you to all the breast milk donors!! You have given Lizzy your most wonderful gift!!
She is doing the best ever!!

Lizzy, Christen and I have been out walking almost every night. Thank goodness Lizzy stays up late. We go after dark because of the heat.
Hanging out here has been fun. Every night it seems we have an adventure on our walks. I love the exercise and Lizzy loves running around town. Her favorite place is driving fast down the law and justice center handicapped ramp here. The mosquitoes are terrible. Lizzy had some bites one night with  just OFF on so we started using lemongrass soap  in her bath also and she has not got bitten since.

Its been such a different life with Lizzy being able to stay in her power chair most of the time. Its been great for all of us!!
 Its already past the middle of June. Wow... How fast time flies!!

Last night we went to Monsters University Movie down town. We went with family and had a great time. Caitlyn , Lizzy and I walked home. We have to walk every night you know!

We went to Dawn and Jeff's on Fathers's day. The girls and I took the kids fishing . Lizzy had a blast. She had never been fishing before.

We still have the online fundraiser for Lizzy for a handicapped van. We have got a few hundred over 1000.00 raised. That is so great!!  Thank you all that have contributed. Christen is looking into more funding resources through a van company that sells accessible vans.  So, keep Lizzy in your prayers!! Walking with her is great but it will be hard getting her out with out a handicapped van. Laying on the back seat she plugs when in the van to long. She can elevate herself and maneuver her chair if she feels choky or her uncomfortable. She can not do that laying in the back seat.


We are missing all of our friends this year from the FSMA Conference. There was no possible way for us to attend this year or go any where for that fact! Lizzy so wants to go!! Hopefully, we can go to the FSMA  conference in DC one next year. Things should be looking up by then. Paul has his SSI  Disability hearing in Sept thank you to our US Congressman Adam Kinzinger's staff expediting his hearing! Whoo hoo Finally!! what a weight lifted of my heart!!

We have done pretty well for as hard as we have had it for the last almost 4 years. The last two years have been the worst since Paul's accident and his diabetes issues. It seems keeping positive,prayers and the love of friends have kept us going. There is a little girl that lives here that keeps me inspired also!!

Special prayers for our friends Charlie and Jake  !! They both have surgery for lengthening growth rods on Monday!!
