Thank You

Thank you for the sweet comments and emails on B's Cerebral Palsy diagnosis. We have been processing with family and friends and feel optimistic for the future. I must say for insurance this is already a dream, they like having more specific things to get claims ect moving through. And with all B's meds, dr appointments, and bills I call BCBS at least once a week.

D and I have been visioning for our future and what we want it to look like. We haven't really done that in a while, since B was born we have basically been living week to week and now that he is stable we can start to plan again. Feels good. There may even be a sibling for B in our future (not the near future fyi). We have also been looking into a wheelchair van. I am determined to make the big white van sexy...or at least some other color than white!! LOL.

B is still all smiles. His CP diagnosis hasn't phased him one bit!!

I don't comment often but thought I would chime in here. What a happy and beautiful boy! Although I'm not happy about the diagnosis, I'm sure it is a relief to have a definitive answer. You always seem so strong in the face of a challenge. B is so lucky to have parents like you who will fight for everything he needs. (((hugs)))

Yay!!!! Once again, always looking on the bright side. You rock mama. I am SO looking forward to our zoo date so I can finally meet this sweet little guy in person.

You are the best mom! So proud of you guys!

How fantastic that just a couple of words (that don't change B at all) can help so much! And dude, I totally think that you are cool enough to pimp out a big ole van!

Congrats on getting a little extra help!

He's such a remarkable little guy! And you guys as his parents are too! Love seeing his smiles in the pictures you post with your blog entries. :)

You are such a great example the way you take it all in, process it, and continue to cheer your son on. You have been through a lot but no one would know it by reading your posts. I am so glad to hear that you may have another baby at some point. B will be an amazing big brother!!! God bless you all!

Hey did you know you can get a minivan that supports a wheelchair? Just a thought if you didn't want to do the full size van thing.

Tiff said...

You will totally rock the van! :)
