Back in November Tim saw a story on the Today Show about a little girl with a brain injury. Her father had created a site and was trying to join other brain injured children and their families. He had been faced with a lot of the same issues we deal with. A lot of doctors …

Wow, 2009! I can not believe it is already 2009. Last year flew by. Casey has grown so much in the past year. I was looking at some old pictures and she is just so much bigger. I must say 2009 was a really good year. Casey has been growing a lot. She has established …

Casey had a really good Texas Christmas. Santa brought her a fish. His name is Al. Tim found a little pink aquarium and everything. Casey seems to like her new pal Al. This was her first Christmas with family. She had a lot of fun. She wore herself out and ended up sleeping while we …

So last week Tim was in India for work. While he was gone Casey and I were pretty busy. On Monday we interview 2 new nurses. Then Tuesday Casey’s old nurse (Laura) came over to play so I could get out of the house a little while Tim was gone. Then Wednesday I started training …
