Because We Love Her

It’s been a while since the last entry, however, things have been going along at about the same pace. Chloe still has the sleep apnea problem and still can’t wear the air mask she needs to correct help this. It’s a situation of something being plastered to your face all night while you try and sleep. Yea, I know, doesn’t make sense to me either. There needs to be a better way.

Both Chloe and Colin are trying to come up with better study habits to improve their school situations. Dana is doing a fine job of making sure they start right after they get home but the communication from them to her is sometimes lacking. Typical for the ages.

Colin’s first concert was last week. We miss Mr. Peters. The kids did their best but I don’t have a lot of confidence in the director. She didn’t even speak to the crowd the entire concert and I saw so many fewer smiles on the kids faces it was a shame. Hopefully things will get better there as it is one of Colin’s favorite things to be associated with.

Chloe has made vast improvements in her walking I believe. She now has an ankle brace that stabilizes her foot enough that she can walk without the crutch most of the time. This is Big toward her goal of “looking normal.” We still don’t have a swallow. The test needed to be cancelled this week due to a cold but we’ll get it rescheduled when it seems right. Personally, I’d like to see it not done for a little while longer. She is now getting serious about her swallow attempts. Let’s see if she can get something going.

Thanksgiving and two birthdays this month will be keeping us on the edge of our schedules. Not sure how much will get done but we do look forward to getting the families together. It would be wonderful if Chloe could swallow her favorite mashed potatoes by then! Let’s hold that as a goal if you would.

The comments section of the website has a glitch. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

The job searches are still going strong. We accept all leads…

Be well,
Ron

    I pray daily for Chloe to swallow. Funny how we take such things for granted. Keep plugging away kiddo, You’ve come so far with ALL YOUR hard work that swallowing will come back to you when you least expect it too. Love you kiddo……
