The Zoo!

We were able to go to the Zoo on Saturday. It was fun to play and watch Emily and Zach see the animals. Zach had a hard time “seeing” the animals, We took him out of his wheelchair and he was able to see the Giraff. It was so fun to watch him. He couldn’t take his eyes off of them. It was so fun.

My little wonders…

I have been thinking about all the blessings in my life and the one that I cherish the most is the blessing I have been given to be a mother. Even when I feel like I am at my wits end I always find that moment when I love them more at that moment then I ever have before. Its a wonderful feeling to know that I am loved and wanted. The times when Emily lays with me and says “mommy lets just talk”. At that moment when our noses are touching and she looks into my eyes and wants to talk about anything and everything, is when I am filled with so much joy and amazement. Those are the times when I am in shock that those 2 little blessings are mine. What a wonderful thing Emily and Zachary are to me. And for the first time in his whole life that Zach as reached for me to hold him. Something that most mothers take for granted. Its only happened one time. That one time is something that I will cherish. It came right at the most perfect time. Watching them grow is so much fun. One that I have taken for granted and decided that I would slow down and be involved in, instead of watching from a far. They are “My little wonders”!

Still Screaming like a 12 year old!

I got this in my email today from a friend. I Love when people think about me and send me stuff that will make my night!

Thank You Thank You Thank You Jenny S. What a great friend you are!

FIRST LISTEN: ‘Summertime’ from New Kids on the

Block

Originally posted Monday May 05, 2008 12:45 PM EDT

They’ve called their new single “Summertime” and the tune is, well, appropriately sunny. The New Kids on the Block will officially release the synth-heavy anthem on May 13, but PEOPLE.com has a first taste. Sweet and bright, the song finds the guys getting nostalgic, singing, “I think of you in the summertime / and all the good times we had, baby.”

Listen to it here:

Next up, the New Kids will perform the full song on the Today show on May 16 for their first live performance in 15 years before hitting the road for a summer tour.

My favorite time with Zach…

Some of my most favorite times I have with Zach is during his many therapy sessions. I love watching him make progress and the joy he has when he does something for the first time or the right way. I love the look he gives me. The look of “mom look what i did! Can you believe how smart I am!!” There have been times when I just sit in awe of him. It has brought tears to my eyes many times. I love that he is so much different than what we were told by Doctors he was going to be like. He is defiantly not the child I am still told on paper that I will have. Some of the best friends i have are the Therapists that come into my home. I love the friends I have made and the joy they get from helping my son grow. Its amazing that so many people are on my side when it comes to helping Zach get what he needs. I have been told by many Doctors and Professionals how wonderful and committed Zach’s therapists are. Making sure that they are at appointments with us and making time to just come and be with us after major medical problems. Not only do these wonderful therapists love Zach, but they love Emily too. They make sure they include her with the things they bring for Zach to do. Emily gets just as excited to have Sheralyn, Christene, Mandy, Susan, Julia and Lisa come visit or us go to them. So to those wonderful ladies that help me Thanks for your dedication and love.

Blah!

It’s been a really bad week for us here. Emily has thrown up EVERYDAY this week. I have gotten very little sleep. Chad and I caught it as well. Zach was throwing up all day yesterday and was not eating or drinking. We went to PCMC because my Pediatrician said he thought it would be a good idea. Zach was not able to keep down his meds and had not had a real wet diaper since that morning. So at midnight last night My mom and I took him in. We sat there for over 2 hours. Waiting for some one to take us back. All they were going to do it put in an IV to help get him hydrated. He fell asleep about half hour after we got there and was starting to get his color  back. At about that point I started to feel absolutely gross. My stomach was turning. Watching other parents who’s Children were worse than Zach by far just sitting. Kids coughing and throwing up. A cute little mom with her disabled Daughter who was on oxygen had been sitting for over 3 hours. So I looked at my mom and said lets just go. If he has a seizure then we will call 911 and we will get straight back. I went up to the desk and asked how much longer it was going to be and the nurse said “Oh sister you have a long wait”. She told me that at the very EARLIEST it would be 60min. but it could be a lot longer than that. So I told my mom that we were leaving because I was going to throw up and He was sleeping soundly. I let him sleep in bed with me last night, just to make sure he would be okay. About 4:30 Emily woke up throwing up. I put Zach back in his bed. She threw up for the rest of the morning. I started about 6:30am. Chad started about 8pm tonight. Zach is totally fine. Its gross. We have slept most of the day and washed every blanket, towel, sheet and pillow we own. This is so not fun. I wish we could get over it fast. I hope that Emily stops tonight she just needs a break. Anyway. Thats been our week-end. I hope that others out there don’t get this. It sucks!!
