June 2nd, one of the first times I gave Nina a bottle, and she grabbed that thing right out of my hands! See this image larger. I’ll be honest, since this one she’s never quite pulled it off as nicely, but consider me impressed! See this image larger. For awhile on Mondays I’ve been taking […]
I called a lot of people but I should write here as well… Nina does not have Cystic Fibrosis. Melissa forbade me from digging through the internet and finding everything there is to know about it — and this turned out to be a good call. As it is I’m probably bordering on an ulcer, […]
From our CarePage via Melissa: The tests for Nina have been scheduled for this Thursday (July 22). We start off the day with another physical therapy appointment for her head/neck from 9-10 a.m. at Mary Free Bed. (Nina’s first physical therapy appointment was today and she did great!) We go immediately from Mary Free Bed […]
The reference of the title is from the incident made famous by a relatively forgettable movie, wherein three large storms coalesced into one very large, very nasty storm, sinking a fishing boat and her crew. However our perfect storm has to do with the end of July — and I’m asking everybody to bear with […]
We took Nina to an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist this morning — as usual, Melissa beat me to the punch on updates, and I don’t really have the heart to say all this my own way at the moment, so here’s what she wrote: Today Nina went to see an ear, nose, throat (ENT) specialist […]
Ian told Mommy a week ago that he had spotted “a Comerican flag.” Ian has started referring to Mommy as “my Mommy.” It isn’t said in a way that sounds possessive, it is said in the same way that one might say “my love.” Just now Ian handed me a card from a game “I […]
Nina ended up in the ER on Friday July 9th, but was not admitted to the Children’s Hospital. She had been congested and coughing for a few weeks but whenever we talked about calling the doctor, she’d suddenly be fine. That particular day, daycare called Melissa and told her that Nina was having difficulty breathing. […]
The next morning, on the 30th – a wonderful breakfast, and some very satisfied peoples! Thank you Gramma Marcia! See this image larger. Ian helps out with the flowers, tongue protruding in concentration… See this image larger. … ok now it looks like he’s been doing this for 10 years, what an expert! See this […]
I am praying that our May excursion isn’t our only trip up to the Island this year! Things are so busy right now it is looking like it’ll be August before we can even attempt trip #2! Anyway, here’s some pictures! May 29th – Arrival at the island! This is Nina’s first trip! Ian looks […]
May 13th – Ian grabs a gummy bear sundae from Coldstone as another reward for potty training perfection! See this image larger. May 18th – After a long winter Ian asked me to build him a boat, as he was jonsing for a trip up to Fawn Island to see Grandpa Dave and Grandma Marcia… […]
