Calm Waters

The waters are pretty calm, well, as far as Hope goes! Her leaking has stopped. If she still hasn't leaked by Monday/Tuesday, the waterslide is going up! She is doing really well and the pump is not causing a lot of pain. She is walking and crawling everywhere.
My lending closet is taking off! I had an ad in the Raising Special Kids newsletter which is huge! Mesa Disabled Sports should be placing an ad in their next newsletter, Phoenix Children's Hospital has already called me for a request, CRS (another children's clinic/hospital) has our flyer's, and many offices around the valley have requested hard copies to post. Our orthopedic company, our foster license company, and the Division of Developmental Disabilities has past an email with our flyer through their contact list as well. The wild fire is starting to spread! I just pray that we receive some monthly donors soon so I don't go broke!
This is my last week volunteering at Foundation for Blind until school starts again. I'm so glad! There aren't enough hours in the day!
Next week I am attempting to transition my foster kiddo into a toddler bed and then on to potty training. Ugh! I think she will learn fast though. She had a hearing test this past week and she does have hearing loss in her right ear. Not sue how much yet. She goes back in two months. They are hesitant to commit to anything at this young age. We also figured out she has spastic feet. She is now using Hope's electrical stimulation every other day and with some aggressive therapy, it shouldn't be noticeable later in life. With all of this, hopefully I will be free and clear to adopt her in the future. Her parents appear to be pursuing her sister and not her. I don't understand, but that is fine by me.
That's all I can think of for now. Thank you everyone for your love and support!
