I have been putting off this post for almost a month now, time to bite the bullet and get it out there….. Derby has been our little stubborn pistol as of late. The kid wants to move, he wants to feed HIMSELF and he wants to do things HIS WAY. The feeding has really got me [...]

Derby stands! Derby falls!

I forgot to mention that last Saturday Derby learned to pull himself to standing. He looked so proud of himself. Now he does it all the time.

I hate to focus on just one kid but Derby has had a PHENOMENAL couple of weeks. As his PT said “It is like a fog has been lifted”. The morning that Mima T went back to Michigan Derby decided he would sit on his own (he would stay if you sat him up he [...]

The past couple of days have been special anniversaries for our family. On Wednesday it was one year that Loen has been home, then yesterday it was their due date.

Today Derby was up to his usual antics of putting the medical staff through their paces. We were scheduled for the first surgery at 7:30 (meaning we had to be there at 6:30 am). After all the usual paperwork they let me bring Derby into the OR and stay with him while they gave him [...]

Last week Loen had a cough. It sounded yucky but she seemed to be in good spirits. No fever or runny nose, still eating well. I called the pediatric advice nurse just to be sure I was doing everything right. I would hate to ignore it and it turns out the kid has pneumonia. Given [...]

I need to write a HUGE update with the amazing advances happening in our home, but seeing as I need to finish packing for a wedding we are flying to TONIGHT it will have to wait. I will say that Derby had his one month eye recheck. Now his right eye is turning in, the [...]
