has anyone heard from Chelle? I think about her often and wonder how things are going.

hey i luck once in a while i'm more of a facebooker these days if you have an account. we are doing good...the 13th will be 18 months since Lily passed and the last 18 months have been a whirl wind.... we found out back in febuary alex has sensory processing disorder and now they are thinking he has auditory processig disorder (being tested in oct) , so we've been busy with a lot of therapy .. hes' in occupational therapy hippotherapy (horseback riding) and listening therapy (helps him so noises dont bother him as much) they also did an IQ test on him and not surprisig it came back he has a genius IQ level tedhey wanted to test him for aspergers since that and sensory can go together but also as suspected there he doesnt' have it. he's going into the 3rd grade still has isssues from anxiety PTSD and other grief issues but not nearly like he was and now they are just occasionally him sayig things like he's sad and misses Lily opposed to crying a ton

Lilttle miss Gracie turned 1 july 22nd. she went to the cardiologist in June.. she still has the one little hole in her heart (which is better then the 3 from birth) it's getting smaller though so it's all good. ... she doens't go back till around her 2nd bday. she's 30 inches tall and 21 pounds 6 ounces .. she only gained 9 ounces from 9 to 12 months but the ped thinks it's just genetics since everyone in our house is skinny. she is delayed with ehr gross motor skills and will be starting Physical Therapy for low muscle tone in the next 2 weeks (they are getting her fit into the schedule)her speech is advanced shes'  a chatterbox and is already saying phrases like 'here you go' and of course loves the typical toddler NO NO NO while shaking her head. she's the happiest baby though  

the last 18 months have been bad news after bad news so i figure it's time for good news right LOL.
