AFO'S
I first need to say how sorry I am for my lack of updates! Being a full time student is defiantly taking up more of my time (In a good way) We have been dealing with the wonderful waiver program in Ohio and by wonderful I mean this is a very long drawn out process that should be simple, but due to some major poor listening skills we have had to reapply. This time around I have everything in order and we should be good to go.
Gabby had the botox in her calf muscles, and then we followed up with serial casting. The first week was living hell! She was so angry and sore all she did was cry. We had her fitted for new sole less AFO's two weeks ago, and today they came in. We had the last set of cast removed, and she finally had flat feet again! I also for the first time in Gabby's life got to go buy her some shoes. I know to most people we would not think twice about it, but this is one of those milestones that meant the world to me. We went shoe shopping right after our appointment. As you can see from above she loves them! She is growing like a weed! The whole time change thing did screw her up and for about a week was staying up till 2-3 am! I think she is finally back to her schedule and that is a good thing as my spring break is over and its back to the hustle and bustle of school.
I am carrying all A's in school with one B. If you know me from back in High School, well you know how much I truly applied myself... So it feels good to be going after my dream-and being successful at it. I have registered for all my summer classes and applied to be in my nursing classes this fall! I can say to everyone who uses the excuse its impossible because I have kids, is full of crap! If I can do it anyone can! As you see this post is at 1:30 AM, because I just finished up some homework! I feel this is also showing my kids that at least one of their parents is furthering their education and that college is a good thing. I feel this is even better for Kiera to see, as she truly needs someone to show her the right way in life!
The kids got all A's and B's on their report cards-I know not a big surprise there! Smarty pants kids! I will try and post again here soon!
Love you all-
Maria
