Kaitlyn turns 6!



Kaitlyn turned 6 on March 6! The pictures are from a party we had for her where we invited the kindergartners from the neighborhood along with their siblings. We had a blowup playground, pinata and cake! What a great time! (I need some advice on posting pictures...)

For those of you that have been following the blog...
We made the trip to SE MI for the funeral. It was quite a trip, but we made it with some help from the family. I couldn't have done it without help that's for sure. It was a tough trip both physically and emotionally, but much needed. Makenzie was blessed along with her cousin Becky (while we were there) from the pastor after the luncheon. Thank you, Aunt Barb.

News on Makenzie...
Makenzie had an EEG a few weeks ago and is NOT having seizures! One less thing to worry about. We also had a vision consultant come in last week and had alot of good things to say about Makenzie's eyes. She is doing MUCH better than last Dec when the eye doctor saw her. She is focusing better and tracking other colors than red. Red and contrast colors (ie black and white) are the first colors you see, so she's at least progressing. She is tracking side to side AND up and down. She was not doing this a few months ago. The vision consultant gave us alot of tips on how to work with her, so we will be trying all kinds of things with her. The things they come up with amazes me. I was just happy to get some good news about Makenzie. It felt so good to hear she could tell I was working with her, it reconfirmed I made the right choice about deciding to stay home with her full time.

  4. I am a firm believer that when you think positively, good things will happen. Just keep working with her and things will happen. Don't just give up and accept something a doctor says because they are only human and they are giving you the odds. Odds are, she will do better than the odds. Don't lose faith.
