Has it REALLY been that long? YIKES!!!

I didn't realize I hadn't posted in ages! OK-so a quick update-the day of my last post, Keelin ended up in the Emergency ROom with a dislocated elbow. She was just walking along holding my hand and fell down. She put no resistance in her muscles and I heard her elbow go "pop". She screamed bloody murder and I knew we were on our wayto the e/r. Apparently her low muscle tone leaves her prone to these types of injuries. Great..........

In apraxia news, Keelin's SLP has decided that Keelin would benefit greatly from learning sign language. Keelin's brain keeps learning new things, but her ability to communicate these new things is still waaaay behind. She is becoming very frustrated so we need to find a way to help her "speak" to us. In therapy land, this is called AAC (augmentive and/or alternate communication). So we are ordering some Signing Times DVDs and flash cards. I will let you know how it goes. She is also sick with a sinus infection that turns out is resistant to the antibiotic she was on. So she started a new one and we will see how it goes. Cultures from her sinus will be back on Monday. She also has her Gastric Endoscopy this coming Friday at CHOC. It's a general anesthesia procedure so wish us luck!

In Baseball news, Jared's team is 4-0. He is their starting pitcher and he is a rock star! Incredibly athletic and talented. He has a big game against the Yankees tonight.

In glass news....I haven't had alot of time to do glass or update my website. I am working on a large custom order currently. That's always nice-I like those. I am leaving after Keelin's procedure on Friday for a glass and bead expo in Las Vegas. Two days with my glass friend Jen. No hsuband, no kids. Me, glass and gambling! OMG!!!!!!!! ummmmm WOW!!!! I am really looking forward to the break. It's been a long time!

That's all the news that's fit to print. Be good people!

CIAO!
