pics and some news

Bohdan after swimming, cuddled in a blanket. The boy is such a cuddler!

Working with his OT, Kimi. He was sitting up like such a big boy and was having a blast!


Caius playing by the pool.


Asher Easter egg hunting.

So I have been trying and trying, calling and working on getting Yuri services, therapies, anything. The child needs help. So today we met with a social worker and a nurse to try and enlist the three SN kiddos in a Medicaid waiver program. What would this mean? It means that we could actually get therapies for Yuri. I could get respite. Bohdan could get therapies after his birthday.

To qualify you have to show a medical need to receive this help. Caius might qualify since he has a G-tube but it is unlikely the other two will. Can I just say.... GRRRRRRR!!!!

I'm so irritated. All I want is for Yuri to get help but it is seeming impossible. We have good insurance but no home health companies will take us because we don't have a Medicaid backup.

I have kinda been putting all my hopes in this basket. I have been told by more than one professional that Yuri should qualify but now it is not looking so good. Please pray that he qualifies.

I'm meeting with a woman this afternoon to continue trying to get him into the school system where he can get some therapies even though it won't be as intensive as he needs.

just some pics

So I walked into Asher's room and found this. A chalk outline of his Teddy Bear 'Harley'. Apparently Harley was covered with baby powder and then fled the scene.

Caius being a big boy and sitting up for Ms Kimi, his OT.


Grandma Di and the twins. I love this pic.
Look at his hair blowing in the breeze. Its getting long and soft.

I thought this pic looked sweet. Too bad its not. Notice Bohdan is not happy because Yuri is banging his head on his back.

Caius sitting up so straight He has started pulling on his clothes and looking in them like "What going on in there?"

These are pics of me and my girlfriend being ridiculous.
The winter took quite a toll on our plants and we had to cut back our palm and now it looks like a huge pineapple in the middle of our front yard. And what else are you supposed to do with that but take pics. :o)
