Here is a video clip from a friend of mine....they (Debbie, Nestor and Amelia) were featured in a news segment about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intensive (suit) physical therapy.  Amelia has been receiving these two therapies the past few weeks.  While they were there they did a story about the therapy center and the success of these therapies for kids like Gracie and Amelia with cerebral palsy.  This is the therapy I mentioned that we will be taking Gracie for in August!  We have done the HBOT before and Gracie showed great improvements from it...so we are excited to try these two therapies combined!  Amelia is doing so well...it's just awesome...check it out below!

Amazing Amelia

Really not much going on lately to report. Gracie has been sick for the past couple of months. She had pneumonia twice and an ear infection. She handled the pneumonia pretty good, compared to when she was younger. It really showed us how far she's come because a couple of years ago she had pneumonia and we were in the hospital for two weeks. This time it was just urgent care for a couple of hours and home with an antibiotic. As for having it twice though in a two month time frame, they think it probably just never fully went away the first time. We took her in for a follow-up a few days ago and lungs are clear!


She was fitted yesterday for an adaptive bicycle...she loved it...can't wait to get hers! It has to be ordered so it will be a couple of months probably but maybe sooner we hope! Just please....can anyone explain why we went to Target a few weekends ago and bought Logan a "big boy" bike for $75 and because Gracie has to have a "special" bike it's $4000? I mean it's not your typical bike or anything I know...but come on! We will post pics when she gets it!


School is out in a couple of weeks and the girls are excited! We are planning to go to Nana and Papa's in August for HBOT and intensive suit physical therapy. There is a HBOT center in Kansas City only about 20 mins or so from their house. Which is nice because we can just stay with them and not have to worry about a hotel.


Jerry is busy on the cookbook...he only gets a chance to work on it here and there between being a dad, husband and work he doesn't get much time to work on it....but it's coming along! Here is an example of a page from the book....


So...that's about all for now...hope all is doing well!
