Laura was here today so we decided to take Casey shopping and let her pick out a Halloween costume. We went to Old Navy first but they didn’t have much. She did not respond to any of them at all. She liked some tee shirts, but none of the costumes. Just down the street (on …

So Saturday we were all sitting around being bums when the phone rang. After Tim got off he told us that his mom was on the phone and she is in town. While everyone else was fleeing Texas due to Ike Theresa came in for a quick visit. Ike left Austin pretty much untouched so …

We had a nice surprise yesterday. Casey’s new vision teacher came out to meet Casey and Casey’s ECI manager. We expected just a quick visit to touch base on what Casey’s previous teacher was working on. However when Clair (the new teacher) and Clair’s boss came they had a big bag with them. Early this …

I don’t have any news to post, just could not resist this picture. Casey has become such a little book worm. She loves to read her stories. She will read for a little while then make noise when she wants someone to change the page for her. Too cute! Also in this picture is her …

Tim got home around 11 last night. He was exhausted from traveling. It sounds like he had a really fun weekend in Chicago. He got to spend some time with family and friends. He did great on his swim and started out great on the bike. He had a bit of a spill about half …

What a HUGE day!!! Casey had a GI appointment this morning and she has hit 26 pounds. Wow, that is awesome. The first year plus we could not do anything to get her to put on weight. Her doctor actually warned us to be careful and not let her get fat. He was serious too. …

We just got home from this mornings appointment with Casey’s neuro. It went really well. Casey was very good there and in the car going and coming. She sat in her chair while we were there and she did great. We talked to the doctor about the spasticity clinic. Since she is the main neuro …

We finally have the table top for Casey’s chair. Now not only can she sit and hang out, but her toys can come a long too. She seems to like having her toys right in front of her. We just got home from Casey’s ENT appointment. I have mentioned before, but I will say it …

I blinked and somehow lost a full week. That keeps happening. Tim has gone back to work. I really got used to having him around all day. Sadly he ended up having to go back to work on his birthday. We celebrated on Thursday though, so it was not too bad. Casey’s pulmonary doctor called …

On Thursday Casey got to hang out with her nurse all day. They had lots of fun. While they were playing Casey’s purple pads showed up for her stander. Tim got them put on pretty quick. It looks so much more Casey now 🙂 Black is just to boring for a kids color. I had …
