Emily's been driving a powerchair at school!!!..... and like it's no big deal. :) Everyone has told us when our kids start getting into powerchairs and learn that they are somewhat independant they "grow up" and start talking more and stuff. For us, Emily is not a talker -- she's 3.5 but has a very difficult time forming words -- but she has been a chatty Kathy lately -- LOUD. Amazing she can get as loud as she can when her lung volume is so small and weak -- so we thought anyway. It's been great to have a little bit of change in the regard. She has also been doing incredibly well on the supply of breast milk we are working through. I think we've successfully made it through a sickness that could have been worse - - hard to say for sure, kinda speculation, but she's been gaining weight and has way more energy. Our insurance company tells us there is "no scientific proof that breast milk is beneficial to kids," so we can't get funding from CareFirst.... bummer for us -- and I'd hate to work for a company that makes such idiotic claims as that - I pity them. Regardless, we have some incredibly promising breast milk donors, so thanks for your prayers and ideas in that regard.
Thanks for checking in! Peace <><
