Happy New Year!!!!!!!!! and it's already Feb. we have been having some real crappy weather lots of snow and cold but that's New England for you. Hannah has been doing real good with school we had the IEP meeting about behavior and all the things they were worried about have been resolved the only thing she still needs work on is transition from one room to the next I think they just need to explain a little more to her about what is expected of her. She had to go in another ambulance ride from school they said she was having trouble breathing but she was just not feeling well so two days off and the weekend and then back to school. The new braces are working great for her feet. She finally has straight feet. Waiting for PT to send new video so I can post it. That's all fro now hope to update soon.

This is a video of Hannah walking with old braces at school with her therapist taping we will have a new one soon with the new braces

Long time since last post

Well let's see it's been a really long time since I have posted anything. Hannah had been sick twice once with just a really high fever and the second time she had the swine flu as we all got it except Logan(thank god). We all did pretty good with it Hannah did the best she got tamiflu and was feeling better in no time. School has been going ok her aide that she is used to got the flu and a sinus infection and was out for a week so we are dealing with the big change with not sleeping well.

Well it's a new year and hopefully we have a really good one Hannah had a blast at christmas she actually was very into it this year and actually played with her new toys her favorite is the small battery operated drum set my sister got her because she loves music. School vacation was great Hannah got to do a lot of first things like she went to the movies for the first time and saw Princess and the frog she also threw her first snowball and made her first angel in the snow she had soo much fun as did we watching her. Hannah and Logan had there first set of H1N1 flu shots in DEC and did fine with them they will get the second on Tuesday. Hannah got to see the new doctor at the end of Nov. he prescribed a new brace (PLS AFO's) and it took awhile to get used to them but she is walking better then she has ever, Just having difficult doing stairs but it will come. I have an I.E.P. meeting scheduled for the 26th. I hope there are no surprises for me. That about brings us up to date I hope to keep updating more frequently.

I have been working for a couple of days and still have not gotten into a rhythm. Hannah has been having a good week thanks to it being a short week . Her brother Logan has been misbehaving alot lately don't know what that is all about. Things around here keep breaking down the TV is starting to act funny and my car was not giving me heat but hubby fixed the car have not told him about the TV yet. Well time to get ready for the rest of the night...

It's the end of another week and I started a job this week as lunch lady LOL. great hours so its the perfect job for now. Hannah had a great week we got the kicking under control I just have to threaten to take TV away and that does the trick. Today was picture day at school I'm dying to find out how they came out because she never smiles for my camera so I wonder how she did. Tuesday she had an appointment with the eye doctor and everything is the same she still has the weak left eye but we notice that it doesn't do it as much except when she is real tired. I thought she was coming down with something but it only seems to be at night and first thing in the morning. I saw Hannah practising for a dance that the first graders put on and I am soooooooooooo proud she is trying sooo hard. Not sure when it is but I'll take video of course..

Well it's end of the week. Hannah's report from school was about the same she is still pinching kids and kicking them when they are doing carpet time (not sure why) I have a talk with her every day about it and that doesn't seem to help. I have an I.E.P review meeting scheduled on the 23rd, we'll see what they have to say. Her feet seem to be doing good with the differnt braces the left foot seems straighter to me. SHe has an eye doc. appointment next Tues, just a yearly check-up but still has the lazy eye we are keeping our eyes on.

Second day of school for this week and of course Hannah is very tired but she is getting better every day. Teacher said she was putting everything in her mouth today at the end of the day and her hair is up so I'm assuming she was putting it in her mouth also . I made a suggestion of using her sour spray when she is looking for stimulation in the mouth we'll see if they take the advice. I'm still very stressed about her feet so today I put one compression brace on and one smo to see if that would help with the left foot problem. We'll see new doc Nov 30. Well i guess that's enough venting for now.............
