Losing Todd

It was a sad day at therapy for us today. We walked in to start our regular Physical Therapy when our PT dropped the bomb on us. He's changing offices. Me: Oh? Well, we can follow you, right? Todd: You CAN, but the new office doesn't take medicaid. Me: Oh...then we cant. silence........ tears start welling up.... more tears start welling up.....and some more.... feeling like a total ninny. but cant seem to get the tears pooling up under control. Todd went on to explain that its not one of those happy moves. Its because there are problems going on at the office he is at right now. It almost made it worse to know that this move isnt just something that is better for him personally...It's because of well....most likely...stupid people. I somehow made it through the rest of therapy without boo hooing like a child. Luckily all of this went over Toby's head because he was too excited to see Todd and play. The water works did start big time after getting on the phone with Nate...

Three to Four in Six days

It has taken me some time to decide to blog this or not. There are just certain parts of our lives that dont belong on blogs dont really need to be opened up for everyone to see, read or feel.

Now I'm sure you are thinking that the last statement doesnt seem to go along with the first paragraph, but for me it does. There is one problem with this birthday for me. 4 seems so much bigger than 3! This birthday is a big deal for me because I feel like the difference between Toby and other children will become more apparent. Yes, its only 6 days older than he is today, but now when someone asks I 'll have to say, "He's 4." And then you get the surprised look. The surprised look is always a bummer. So even though his birthday in and of itself is incredible. I can remember being in the hospital with him like it was y...

The end results of Galleria Mall incident

so what's happened since the big Galleria thing in Dallas, you ask? Well, if you are a facebook friend with me you've heard bits and pieces.. (if not ask to be my friend I can never figure out how to look anyone up on that thing) So here's what went down. After repeated messages from lots of friends from all of the country to the Galleria. One finally got a little more than a form letter back from someone, stating that they hadnt even heard from me. NOT TRUE!! I hadnt written to them and as I said before Nate had called them the very day it happened. Well, I wrote AGAIN. Explaining who I was. Within a week I had an email in my inbox from a very nice lady by the name of Leslie who is the Vice President for Simon Malls in Texas. She asked that I call her or that I send her my number. So of course I called. (during nap time so that I could hear everything HA!) She was an incredibly kind lady who was extemely and I believe sincerely apologietic. She heard me out and heard abo...
