Hi again! :D

Well, I thought I was doing great, keeping all the balls up in the air and all the fires under control. Well, I was close. See, I'm looking into some things that people have been recommending as far as treatments for the kids' scoliosis. One of them required knowing the degree of their curvature. No problem. I asked our chiropractor last week, and he said he'd get them to me this week. So he did yesterday. Well, there degrees of curvature are not too terrible. T's in 13 degrees. Wh… Continue

Things are starting to resemble some semblance of sanity around here after the initial scoliosis diagnosis. I have to admit something here. We've been through this sort of thing before. Only difference is, thank God I'm eating raw food now! :) Back in 2000, when we got J's autism diagnosis, before and during my research, I took out my stress and worry and frustration out on whole pans of brownies and 1/2 gallons of ice cream.

So here's the latest. T and lil' A both have scoliosis of the lower back. We found out last week, but yo… Continue

Different people define beauty in different ways. That's the way things are. But I have a beautiful thing happen today that I wanted to share with the rest of you.

My in-laws are here from Florida. They took my oldest and youngest to Six Flags, which means J was here home with his Momma, one-on-one. That is a HUGE rarity. So we decided to go to the swimming pool together. There have been several times where I have tried to have lil' man relax enough to let me teach him how to swim, how to float… Continue
