Chuck E Cheese....

Well I didn't have to go through labor for Shad but I did have to go to Chuck E Cheese....the place that makes me start really disliking children (not mine of course LOL)  Chuck E cheese HAS to be a part of Dante's Inferno.....the 7th level or something like that.....

Look at my twins!  Do they not have the absolute small hair color?  And they are about the same size although Sam is almost 4 years older than Sarah.

Shad bought me some sweet tarts my fav sugar candy:)

 

So the kids all had a great time, I fulfilled the Chuck E Cheese need for a year or so I hope... that place is more than I can bear!

Selah continues to do good.... so much more movement than ever.  Someone asked WHY was it taking so long to find a speech therapist for her....first it has been hard to find one for any of the three little ones.  At one point we were taking her a few times to a local hospital for speech but we were not satisfied with the therapist.  It's a lot of effort to take her out for only a 30 minute session that was missed a few times....  Also I was a bit uncomfortable taking her to the hospital.  So many germs and she is susceptible  to getting ill.   For Selah she has to have a therapist who knows what they are doing with a trach.  Not all ST have even worked a child off a trach before.  Several we contacted had no experience with that.  I believe we will connect with the right one at the right time, if that makes sense.   It can be frustrating to me. 

 

Last night we didn't have a nurse (the weekend) and Selah woke us up twice by making a gurgle sound in her trach.  She quit doing it as soon as she was changed.  It's funny to us and quite wonderful that she can make a noise like that.  We change her position and when Jon first walked in, the nurse had put her right leg on top of a pillow and she was somewhat on her side.  Selah was trying to move her leg off the pillow!!!!!!!!  We've never seen her do that before. 

 

Last night I dreamed AGAIN that Selah was back to normal.  I dreamed she sat up in bed, she wasn't' steady and fell over once and then caught her self up on her right arm.  It was so real....

 

Please keep praying for Selah.  Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for her!
