Crazy time of year!

Things have been so crazy lately! I start school on Monday and have been trying to get my mile long "to do" list done! The nerves are in high speed!
Hope goes to see Dr Raben tomorrow. He is a mobility specialist. Hoping he has some more ideas on Hope. Dr. Shafron, our amazing neurosurgeon, sent us to him. Next week she goes for her first psych appointment. She should be getting an ADD or ADHD diagnosis at this appointment. I am hoping they can also diagnose her learning disability here. I am pretty sure she has dyslexia. Then on January 15th she goes in for Botox. She was suppose to have botox Monday but insurance is taking their sweet time to approve it. I was able to get it scheduled on a Friday so I don't have to miss school.
We had a wonderful family Christmas at a local park and a great Christmas at home! Hope wanted a skateboard for Christmas. I pulled it off! She loves it! I attached a new skateboard to her old walker.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a safe and fun New Year! Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

School Orientation

I apologize for the poor video quality. Before I uploaded it I double checked it. Everything looked fine. After I uploaded it my subtitle timing was off and it cut letters off the end of my words. Sorry!
Today was my 5 hour school orientation. Thank God it was only 3 and a half hours long! I had my picture taken, ordered our polo shirts and received the handbook. The class ranges from 19 years old to mid 50's. I was shocked to see about 10 guys in the class. I start school on January 4th. In September 2011 I will have an associates degree and hopefully by a certified occupational therapist assistant. It's been ten years since I have been in school so I am a little nervous. Okay, a lot nervous!
Lots to do and a little time to do it in! Happy Holidays everyone!

Make A Wish Trip

This is my first video attachment, here's hoping! We had an amazing trip! I don't even know how to put it into words. This is a 30 minute movie of our trip pictures. I hope you enjoy!
I took an additional large suitcase with us to pack our souvenirs in. I had to sit on it to close it and shove stuff in our clothes suitcases as well. She had a new gift delivered to the villa everyday. It was just amazing!
Thank you everyone for your support, love and prayers!
