Is everyone ready???

For the Grand Ol New year?? This year has gone so fast in our family. And filled with Tons of Up's and Downs. We started 2006 with a Hospital stay at Hotel CHOP....3 days...and over 3 weeks of worry..... From there we had some uneventfull months...oh how I relish those!!


The summer was rather uneventfull....we had a great time camping @ Mountain Springs Campground...and cant wait to go back again this summer! Jacob loved camping, swimming and going for a train ride! We want to take him to see Thomas the train at strousburg railroad this year...he'd LOVE it!

Fall has been hard on us all. Jacob's battled MRSA since early november, and his doctors are speculating that he's had it longer then that cause of the granulation problems he's had at his site. He's been on ABX 2x's now...and I saw 1 spot yesterday i'm praying is not another boil.

Jacob's made some huge (by his standards) strides this year. He's saying "DaDa" pretty consistently now! He call's Daddy, Mommy and Caity ... DaDa!! LOL or as Jacob say's Dadadadada! He can now (thanks to Hilary) put on his own jacket! If you lay it out right...he'll put his arms in and flip it over his head! He'll lead you to what he wants...take you by the hand and put your hand on what he wants. His language is still severely delayed (obviously) but we at least know he's improving...and he's definetly not Austic. (nothing against autism...just didnt want to have to deal with 1 more thing) He is being tested though in 5 months...just to be sure before he starts school in September. They want to know what they are dealing with.

Gotta run...I will finish this later.... Hopefully this year!

Merry Christmas...Wishes to all!!

Life on a train...

This is oh so true! And so well worded! I wanted to pass it on to all of you.

Thank you so much for riding the train with me & my family!!!


There are other video's on the site...Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!!

MRSAAgain for sure... :(

The site was cultured on Tuesday....I got the call this morning at work.He has a Staff infection (MRSA) at his G-Tube site. They are leaving him on Bactrim till the "sensitivites" comes back on the infection...then may have to change his ABX.We have a call into GI just to let them know...they are supposed to call me back tomorrow.This has everyone scared...I hope it turns out to be "no big deal" but he's had it 2x's in 31 days, his Ped is very worried about the G-Tube site...especially since that is what they cultured. And the bubbles around his belly, arm and leg. (mostly belly)

Weeeeeeeee!!!

OMG Jacob has a word!!! Just one...and really a sound more then a word! But he's using it in context!! We have *steps* of formula in our living room right now, Jacob's been using them to climb and practice stairs. Who said Therapy couldnt be formula?? LOL

Well he get's to the top...and wants to "Fly" so one of us picks him up and flies him in a circle then puts him down. Then he climbs back up...then down...then up...Ok .. you get the picture right? So we kept saying "WEEEEE" when he jumps off...

And now he'll grab your hand and go "weeee" and pull you over!!! I tried to get it on video...but had no batteries! Here's a picture of his stairs though!
