What's Up?

Our three-year-old has discovered the joy of hanging.  From the silverware drawer, the potholder drawer, the toothbrush drawer, etc.  She also likes to hang from the door handles while straddling the door.  It's amazing that we have anything in this house that isn't totally destroyed.

Her second joy in life is sticking things up her nose: beads, barrettes, paper, plastic, the strings from MY sweatshirt.   How long before we add an ENT doc to our roster?

Things with the "money" pit are moving along.  The men came to start setting up forms.

This is for Den.  Don't you love what's been done to your mom's landscaping?

Think things will ever get back to normal around there?

The kids are loving all the big dirt piles.

Their socks are not.  I think every kid will get a pack of socks for Christmas.

I've had a chance to do some sewing.  

I have almost all the piecing done and I need to put it together.

I am terrified.  

What if it doesn't fit?!?

The kids had a break from school one morning while I was on the phone.  

And, yes, that is my kiddo running through the yard in footie pajamas mid-morning.

Your point is? 

Emily had a cardiologist appointment yesterday.  She's taking the increased dose of amitriptyline recommended by Dr. Li and her EKG was fine.  No more visits to Dr. Philips for a year.  He approved the changes and recommendations made by Dr. Li.  We ran into one of her peds doctors at the grocery store and she is on-board to try picu sedation if the increase in meds doesn't prevent an episode and at-home sedation is unsuccessful.  We stopped by the peds ward to drop something off and show off our healthy, growing, LOUD child.  They seemed to enjoy seeing the well-version of Emily.  

If I haven't said it recently...

for your prayers and support.
