Thank you all so much for the advice on Owen's foot orthotics. Owen's OT was here today and we tried some different methods and it is definitely going to take some getting used to. Thankfully, I have already seen improvement while he's wearing his new Stride Rite Darth Vader shoes. He still takes his shoes off and wants to be barefoot the majority of the time, but we will get there with baby steps. I read a fantastic article this week.. take the time to
read it here.. it's so well written.
On another note.. Southwest airlines has a great deal on airline tickets right now. I booked our flights to Stanford for February at $65 each way! I spoke with his docs at LPCH and Owen is scheduled for pre-op, cardiac catherization and cardiac clinic. I am not nervous about his next visit and perhaps I should be. I'm going to enjoy the happy place we are in right now.
Speaking of happy... we got more MICKEY MAIL today!! This package came from dis: Crissyjb.
Both kids got the most adorable handmade and embroidered pillowcases and backpacks. They love them so much! Kamryn got Tinkerbell...
Her backpack was full of goodies!! Word search, mickey purse, Puzzle, notepad, bubble yum, manicure set and a french manicure set!
Owen's package was Car themed. He looked like such a big guy with his backpack on!!
Owen's backpack was full of Bubble Yum, Cars PEZ, Silly bands, coloring books, a growing towel, Spiderman book, and a new Lightening McQueen car!! He LOVES PEZ and ate a ton of it.. lemon flavored is his favorite.
Now I need to convince both of my kids to pick up their Pixie Dust and put it away. They are so excited about everything they received. Thank you SO much Chris! I am loving all the embroidery and wish I knew how to sew.
I continued to be amazed at the generosity of total strangers. They are making the countdown to Disney very exciting and we appreciate every single gift! Checking the mail was never so fun around here
