ORTHOPEDIC APPOINTMENT!

Jaxson had his orthopedic appointment last week to discuss fixing his hip and ankle.what we thought he needed on his ankle was tendon release surgery is not at all what it is or is wrong.Jaxson is so high tone that his muscles being so high tone has caused his hip and ankle to dislocate.This has been like this for a very long time!Jaxson is on an oral muscle relaxer that is really not working.He is still stiff(yeas we do therapy with him everyday).So Jax needs surgery to get a pump put in his belly that will deliver the muscle relaxer to the brain and work much better then it would orally.If he has this done we will have to drive the 2 hr drive every 4 to 6 weeks to get more medicine put in the pump.Is it worth it?YES..it will help him much better then the way he is going at this point.He wants to grab and hold toys and he just cant because his tone is so high.We did do the botox shots twice but they did nothing for him.It worked for maybe a week.It is painful to put Jaxson through so we said no more.Why if they don't work.So here we are waiting to see rehab doc and get a date for Jax to be admitted for an overnight stay and a test to see if the pump will work for him before they actually schedule it to be done.Once the pump is done then Orthopedic will set up surgery to fix his dislocated ankle and hip!
It looks like our schedule is going to be busy but oh so worth it to see my son be able to grab toys and be easier to change his clothes and diaper.It will also hopefully get him prepared to be in a stander and standing on his feet.He wants so bad to stand and he stands great on his good foot.Jaxson has come so far in the almost 2 yrs home.He is the sweetest little boy with a huge smile all the time!Nothing can top that smile or the huge drool kisses or his excitement when he sees something he wants or loves.How blessed i am to be his mommy!

UNDERSTANDING!

Allot of people don't understand why we would want to adopt..why we work so hard on paperwork and funding to pay for an international adoption.There are so many orphans out there in the u.s and abroad!But when you see these kids that have no one to call mommy and daddy.No one to tuck them in at night.Nothing to call their own..They share all their toys and clothes with the other children!These are kids and have Nothing to claim as their own.Some cases their are children going hungry and getting not nearly enough to eat.Some countries that treat special needs orphans like no human being should be treated.Not the case with our soon to be daughter but it does happen.I read a couple blogs of some of these children who were mistreated and left in dirty diapers for days dirty clothes for days and lucky if they even get fed.This folks is why we have a passion to love one more child!I get told you cant save them all!I never said i want to save a child.I want to LOVE a child...I want to Mother a child.I cant adopt them all this is true but i can advocate and be their voice i can help them find families that would love them with all they have.

CATS OUT OF THE BAG!

We are trying to adopt a precious 2 yr old girl!We are just starting this long process.I need fundraising ideas!Can you all give me ideas?I have alot of money to raise in a very short time and i am scared we will not make it.I am so in love with this little lady and so ready to bring her home.Money should never be an obstacle to a child.But it is with the economy the way it is.every dollar counts.I have a couple ideas in mind and hope to get them going soon!Pray for our family as we embark on this journey to bring home a precious baby girl!

BLOG HIATUS!

I guess i have taken a blog hiatus!It has been busy around here.Work has kept me busy on top of helping my aunt who had her leg amputated and i been spending my extra time getting her house ready for a wheelchair!The kids also have taken my time as well as some other things.We are all doing well and just keeping busy!I have started embroidering again and have been working on my project late in the night when the house is quiet.It seems to be the only time i have to work on it.Jaxson has an appointment Monday with the orthopedic doctor.We hope to discuss tendon release on his ankle and possibly surgery for his hip.Jax is totally healed from his surgery although the first 48 hrs was awful!He is much much better and doing great he is smiles all the time.He has a follow up with ENT in a couple weeks!Hope to share some good news soon as for now my lips are sealed .
