Happy Halloween pictures:)

 
Selah says Happy Halloween.  Cute little bunny:)   She rode in her stroller and did the parade in the hospital:) 

 
Shad dressed as a Star Wars Sith and went out Trick or Treating with some volunteers from the RMH who have become our friends.  He had a blast & enjoyed getting to know their grandson.   they went to a RICH neighborhood......All he got was GOOD stuff LOLOL  Nothing from the big "no name" $5 bag LOLOL  All name brand candy:)  My kids were really impressed:)  All good chocolate and only ONE Smarties LOL
 
 
 
Jon was with Selah all day and she did great.  She participated in the Halloween parade in her stroller and was alert throughout.  Tomorrow morning we are having our team meeting.  Looking forward to it!  Can't wait till Monday to start the Fish Oil study!  We feel like we are just in limbo till it gets started:)
 
I took the kids with me to go thrift shopping.  At the Salvation Army, Wednesdays are 1/2 price day:)  I got a ton of stuff for everyone for just $30:)  Everyone got something but Shad this time.    You just never know what you are going to find. 
 
Then we went to a Halloween store to get Shad an outfit.  He was so excited to get his outfit and light saber:)  While we were there Sam was looking at some things hanging on little posts, moved forward and poked his bad eye.  It started bleeding in the eye.  It was his bad eye,  he really doesn't have sight in it.  Even still I was almost passing out along with the worker!   I was able to call Dr A and take him right in.  He came in and looked at him and said it looked like the cornea got nicked.   There is no problem,  and it should be fine.  Even tho Sam can't see in that eye, I still don't want anything to happen to it or it get infected!  We go back next week, just to make sure.  We've never had an accident with his eye before.  I really need to make him start wearing his glasses if for no other reason than to protect his eyes!
 
We got one of the neck pillows today for Selah.  I had to try it out for her:)  It's great!  Thanks Gracie and family!!!!!  It's great and very heavy, can't wait to use it on her tomorrow.  It being heavy, gives her stability.  I'll post pictures tomorrow:)  Another friend is sending one also.  I can see using it on her neck as well as her legs. 
 
Most nights a group or a family brings in a meal to the RMH, tonight not only was the food great but so was the family!  The kids and their friends played with Sarah and Sam.  All the girls are planning a future in working with Special Needs kids and adults.  The mom does infant massage, and other things and she is going to volunteer to do massage on Selah.  The girls want to watch the kids:)
 
Hope you had a good day....please keep praying for Selah!

  2. Hi Yvonne - I'm wondering if you could help explain what is going on with Selah's recovery a little more. I'm struggling to understand the terminology and the process. Is she still considered in a coma/persistent vegetative state? Even with the progress/recovery she is showing? How do you know when she is "back"? Are there stages of recovery? I am sure it is not like in the movies when someone just "wakes up" but I am confused/curious as to what is going on. Obviously there is a lot that is unknown! And I'm sure you are learning all new medical things too through this process. I will continue to pray for all of you! Also, I am so so so touched by your openness and authenticity. I agree with a previous comment (on a different entry) that there seems to be a tendency within Christian communities to act like it's all fine and dandy all the time. And that's just not true. Not that we don't still have faith. But just that sometimes this life really stinks! And that's okay. It's okay to feel bad and sad and mad. So I appreciate your feelings. And your unfailing hope in our awesome God. ~Katie

  7. Oh they look so cute :) I'm glad that Sam's eye is ok!!!! That was one reason my eye doc didn't want me getting contacts when I was in HS--glasses offer so much protection!

    Waiting anxiously with you for the fish oil study to begin!
