just a little blurb to share with y’all.    today, after working there for 1 month, kev and his partners finally signed the official paperwork!  so, it’s a done deal.  so, even though we were already starting to pack, now we better continue to pack!  pack with purpose

we also met with ian’s surgeon at the stollery this morning.  there is nothing they can do for his foot anymore at this point.  they tried what they could.  once he is 5 or 6 there are a number of different surgeries they can try.  (then his bones won’t be as soft).  since the inside muscle of his right foot isn’t good, they can perhaps take muscle from the outside of the same foot and place it on the inside.  (they wonder if the inside muscle just stopped developing at some point.  they can also then do bone surgery and perhaps try to straighten his foot.  for now he just has to wear the brace at night, and be happy during the day without it.  we see him again in 6 months…but nothing will happen.  maybe it would be worth getting a third opinion…but it’s already so busy, and after seeing 2 speciality surgeons at the stollery…hmm…not likely to get a different opinion.  we’ll have to see.

we saw the child psychiatrist again for keira and have her first ‘diagnosis’. severe primary insomnia.  surprise  anyways, whatever.  we are just doing the best we can to keep her active, and on ‘diet’ (off the eggs, dairy and restricted wheat) and keep a regular sleep schedule.  that’s all we can do.  and pray for peace and patience – just like everyone else

so.  picts to come.  have some super cute ones of ian and his smothering bambi.  (our kitty.)  we had bambi and thumper, and kev accidentally ran over thumper, or thumper jumped under the tire…they were outside cats 95% of the time.  but we’re feeling bad for bambi cause he’s so lonely, and he’s a decent house cat, and it’s just so cold…and he’s so awesome with the kids, and he doesn’t have long hairs….so, yes, he is now a house cat for maybe a couple hours a day.  (helps keep the mice out of the house too

 

anyways, hi all, hope you are all doing well!
