Cmas 2008


Here is a picture of the Greer Girls at Christmas this past year. It's the only picture I have with all three girls. Everyone keeps asking me for a picture, so this is it for now.

I am officially unemployed. Feels weird sometimes, but I am definitely needed at home with the demands of therapy and constant care Makenzie needs. I will also be having Sydney full time in about a week. She will be attending preschool through the school system this fall when Kaitlyn goes to first grade. I'll be glad when it's nice outside. The nice weather can't come soon enough.

Anyway, thanks to all of you that helped us in all kinds of ways. We have so many people to thank, where do I start? We have really gotten to know our church family and everyone's been a great support. Meals have been provided along with people's time and we really appreciate it! My family has been great coming up to pitch in too. Ken's mom was able to stay with us for a while right after Makenzie was born until it was time for her to go to Florida. Our neighbors have also helped us with babysitting and meals. We also appreciate everyone attributing to Makenzie's account (Greer Family Fund). It will definitely come in handy when she is able to attend special therapy sessions that aren't covered by insurance. Ken's work (Herman Miller) created the account when they did a benefit for Makenzie a month after she was born. My work (Wolverine) has also supported us through our rough time. We have friends far and wide that have sent meals, so THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

I am just starting to feel more like a normal person now. I only have a few times during the week where I need to rest instead of every 5 min everyday. I would not be where I am today without the support of my dear husband, family and church family. Thank you for helping us out, so I didn't put so much strain on myself.

Kaitlyn and Sydney have adjusted well since my surgery. They are doing well and look forward to staying home with Mommy. We are keeping up with Kaitlyn's homework and reading and Sydney is working on her workbooks. Makenzie has her exercises everyday too.

That's all for now! See you here next week!

Welcome to my first blog!

Our family has been blessed with three girls. As some of you know our newest addition, Makenzie, was born in late Sept with many complications. She suffered oxygen loss which has caused her to have severe and multiple impairments which impact her vision, sucking reflex, coordination of her limbs, and her future development. Since I will be unemployed tomorrow, I thought I'd start a communication link to all that care to check in... I will try to post an update once a week, but please forgive me if I don't. Thanks for all those that have been so supportive of our family, especially Grandma Theresa, Aunt Mar, Grandma Greer, Kele and all of our new Grace Lutheran friends.
