Party, Party, Party

Casey had a lot of fun at her party yesterday. We had a really good turn out. Lots of her and our friends were able to come by for at least a little while. Casey really perked up and liked having everyone sing happy birthday to her. The weather was perfect. Many of the kidos …

Just 1 more day then PARTY

Casey is getting excited about her party this weekend. Her grandma and uncle got into town today. She got to spend the afternoon cuddling with Grandma. One of her aunts and cousin hopefully get in tomorrow. One of my friends is coming in tomorrow with her 2 little girls. Then everyone else gets in on …

Amazing Kids

Over the past nearly 2 years now I have had the privilege of meeting many amazing children. In some of the hospitals and clinics I have been amazed by children’s strength. In addition to the amazing children that amaze me with their fights I have also met many children that amaze me with their generosity …

Party Prep

Casey had a good week. Tim and I both had doctor appointments on Tuesday morning (luckily in the same building) so we all went. Casey was able to visit the doctor and NOT be a patient. She was so funny. My doctor wears scrubs and bent down to talk to Casey. Casey just froze. She …

Latest Updates

I don’t remember much from Wednesday. I know I had surgery and I hear that it went well. Other than that the day is pretty much a blur to me. I am not allowed to lift or strain for at least a week. It is awful not being allowed to pick Casey up. She is …

Marty home from surgery

Just to let everyone know that Marty is home from surgery and is recovering quickly, as usual. I spoke with the doctor and everything went smoothly. The adhesion scars between the uterus and bowel were quite large at the site where the rupture occurred when Casey was born, so this seems to be what has …

Houston and more

Casey had a hard week last week. She wasn’t feeling well off and on for most of the week. We had to cancel a lot of her therapies. She seemed to be a little better on Friday so we kept our ortho appointment in Houston. We had a pretty good trip out. Casey did really …

Happy Easter

Casey has been a busy girl since our last post. We met her eye doctor. We had to go to him so we could get a Texas form filled out in order to get her vision services started. He wasn’t bad, but he did not compare to Dr. Bill back in LA. Since the eye …

More Teeth

When Casey was about 9 months old she started to get a few teeth. However, shortly after they started to grow she got really sick. Her teeth stopped growing and have been pretty slow to start back up since. We learned from some of her doctors that the body will starve the teeth and mouth …

Weekly Update

We met Casey’s ENT last week. He seems really good. Casey’s tubes are in place so for now we don’t need anything new from him. If/when she needs new tubes he would do it at Dell Children’s Hospital so that is good. His staff seemed really good too. We got there and only waited a …
