a moment of triumph

Im having a rough day. One of those nothing goes quite according to plan cause ive been at appointments with Toby. Trying to homeschool, now juggle 6 therapy sessions a week and any other extra appointments are taking a toll on my emotional and mental stability.!! So instead of sharing all my woes with you and sitting and feeling very very sorry for myself. I'm going to share a happy moment. I hope that people from my church family will especially enjoy this. Since our Pastor has been doing the "kids choir" every Sunday morning Ive enjoyed and not enjoyed it. Of course I love seeing all the kids up there and I love watching Gracie so proudly march up there to sing and all of my friends kids. But there was always someone missing. And that someone sat right next to me, (well sometimes, sometimes he prefered the smyer family) : ) Toby would never go up. The first time he tried he started making it that way and I honestly saw the shock of stairs and kids running hit him. It

survived the week

We survived our week!!! We ended up having appointments Monday thru Friday for Toby. Poor guy, but nothing that a trip to mcdonalds couldnt cure. We will have more coming soon. Thats life though. Some results. We got molded for a back brace for Toby's new diagnosis of scoliosis. (bummer) He is going to start receiving speech therapy (they put him at the level of speech for half his age..crazy bummer) And Ocupational therapy.. (wasnt near as bad as speech but is still needed) which puts us at a grand total of 6 therapiest a week. Honestly im hoping it takes insurance a while to approve this one. : ) On a positive note I had the nicest therapist stop me today during PT and take the time to tell me about all these programs. (most I had heard of) But not only tell me, print out paper work, write down phone numbers, print off webpages. EVERYTHING!! I was so thankful. Toby and I were out in the most horrible rain ever for therapy today. We have to walk over a block to our car from therap
