August Update

Still breathing....sorta

So this has been an interesting month of fun. When we got here there was a massive hail storm and our van got it good. So we took it in and they said 10 days with has now turned into 3 weeks. LUCKILY the auto people said they would cover our rental since they were running late with it. So van should be done in a week. Next we got Brecken into Childrens Hospital to get him all going on his therapies and recasted for his AFOs (leg braces) and fitted for his wheelchair. He finally got into his in home Occupational Therapy. They want him to be seen more for Physical Therapy so that will be once a week in home and 2 times a month out at Childrens. He is still on a waiting list for his Speech Therapy which is ticking me off since that is the one he really needs the most. Anyways he should have his new AFOs in 2 weeks and his wheelchair by Halloween. He is getting too big for that stroller and we push him to walk as much as possible but his endurance is not great right now BUT his Physical Therapist thinks we will just need his wheelchair until he is 5!! She thinks we can get him strong enough to walk all the time by then. It has been a rough road to reign my children back in this last month and get my control back but I feel like I am getting them back to where they were before we got here. I think things will be better once Taylor is in school and we are not sitting around all the time. I am so not used to sitting like this at all. On a better note my mommies group is coming along nicely and I think it is going to be really great!! Anyways Doug will be out here in 3 weeks and I am looking forward to that. Also pray we get renters in our house out in NC!!! I do not wanna pay that mortgage! So yeah...I am still breathing....sorta:)

Long Beach California!!

See we found out that we are going out to Long Beach California next! I am torn. I am excited but nervous. I guess I just can't get excited yet. I am so tired. The kids act up so much more around people and it is making living here hard. I feel like I lose control over them here. I am trying to grasp on to the reigns as much as I can. I really need school to start for Taylor so she gets out of the house. I think that will help her a lot to be away from everybody and under different authority. Brecken has been doing okay but I see him starting to think he can get away with more. Bailey is just being Bailey. I am ready to just be in California. I need help and Doug is the best help I can get. I am not very good at living with people and I know most of the time it is not them and it is me. I am just not a good roommate. Well I will update more later:)
