School update

Not too much to report this week. Next week will be the big one!
My schooling is now put off until January. Stinks, but they are changing campuses. On the plus side, it will be even closer! About 5 miles away! YEAH! Still not sure when my interview will be.
Hope has just been approved for homebound schooling over the summer. YEAH! Hopefully we can get her caught up some. In the fall I will be enrolling her into an online public school. I think it will be really great for her. If all goes well with the pump she will be in a lot of extra activities (wheelchair basketball, bowling, etc.). School life is so hard for her. I would pick her up from school 5 days a week and 4 of those days we would go straight to therapy, grab some fast food, come home to a Hab worker or Respite provider to help her with homework or whatever and then off to bed to do it all over again the next day. Then there's doctor appointments in the middle. I knew my daughter in the car, no where else. We practically lived in the car. With the online school, they send therapists to the home, we can skip music, PE (I think Physical therapy covers that aspect!), playground, etc. and concentrate on the core material. Plus the schedule is flexible and a lap top can go with us to the hospital if need be.
Within the next two weeks we have a follow up with the neurosurgeon, appointment to get casted for new orthotics, Shriners clinic (to receive payment for the new orthotics) and Spasticity Clinic. Not to mention tests for my foster child.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Service Dog Update

I spoke with Power Paws today and our planned service dog is sick again. He had problems and was on medicine to clear it up. The vet assured them it would not come back. It did. He's on another 2 months of medicine and then they will keep him for another couple months to make sure it doesn't come back. He still hasn't been neutered yet either. It will be a while. She is keeping an eye out for any other possible dogs, but this one truely seems to be a perfect fit.
I'll be posting an update hopefully early next week of my new adventures and then I should have info on Hope's next surgery at the end of the week. We have a LOT going on in May. I have my last class for foster care, my foster girl is getting testing done, Hope has multiple doctors appointments and I get older. =- (
I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you always for your support!

Jack Hannah

Hope and I went to a Jack Hannah the animal man show today. It was a blast! They had brought in a bunch of animals from the World Wildlife Zoo. Here are some of them:
This was the bald eagle. He was shot in his wing as a babe.


Pumba, they kneel to eat. Notice his perfect posture. I have another icture of him getting lectured too.

On a leash, really? Ow!

Tucan Sam and a fascinating bird.

My brothers pet.

The silent owl. This was amazing! You can not hear them fly. Their wings flap silently. The owl was suppose to land on the lady wearing the helmet. And the back of Hopes head!

Rocky and Bullwinkle when they grow up! Jack was a little afraid of scorpions. He basically ran away when this guy came out.

Lemar waving hi! Jack himself. We were in the front row and Jack was standing right in front of us the whole time. The down side, all of the animals were on the other side of the stage. They had a really long snake too. Some of my pictures were lost in transit to the blog.

Doctor first week of May and Service dog, well, still waiting on the call. Should be next week though. EXCITING!!

Easter

There are no words! Thank you Uncle Doug and Aunt Helen for the entertainment!!

Disney on Ice ~ Disneyland Adventure

We enjoyed our night out. It was just Evil Hope and I. The incredibles, desguised as normal people took a trip to Disneyland.

The evil dude came and took Mickey & Minnie. Oh No!

Thank goodness the incredible were able to have suits made since they were in Disneyland!! Isn't Mr. incredible hot!!

These are blurry but it was so cool. They visited the haunted mansion while looking for Mickey, Minnie and the little evil dude. They turned off all the lights and put on black lights.

The incredibles saved the day! Mickey and Minnie are fine and they all lived happily ever after! Well, except the evil dude!
