The Week...

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY...We had a busy week and look forward to the same this next week. Here are a few highlights...
Kelsey had a great therapy week with Christen in the pool on Monday and riding Peaches on Tuesday. I am singing Christen's praises! All along, Mike and I have questioned whether Kelsey's balance issues could be because of a vestibular problem, but we have been told by a number of Doctors that Kelsey is too young to have a vestibular disorder. Since Christen has been working with Kelsey - she has been able to see what we see in this regard - and agrees with us. So as a medical advocate for Kelsey, Christen was able to set up an evaluation for Kelsey this week by a woman at St. Charles that is a vestibular specialist. YES! We might be finally getting somewhere! Kelsey is doing fantastic overall, and absolutely loves her big brother! Mike and I continue to be amazed at James's creativity! He has a special stuffed bunny that belonged to Grandma McCall. This weekend, he came up the the idea to build "Dee Dee" the bunny a crate. It's pretty amazing! He also made Dee Dee a collar with tags that he wrote her name and our phone number on - in case she escapes! We are so happy that James has the gift of creativity! He can always think up something to do. Mike and I re-financed the house this week and were very happy to get a 4.5% rate! This is the only good thing about the economic woes!
Mike's Grandpa Gunnar was hospitalized yesterday after a "spell". We don't fully know what is going on with him yet as of this morning, so we are keeping him in our prayers.
Leo the dog continues to bring our family so much joy! He has decided that he too is a human. He is learning many new commands and is eager to please. We just love him! Finally, I am SOOOO excited that my oldest and dearest friend Colette is flying here for my birthday! If the weather holds for us, we plan to go snowmobiling while she is here. She has never been and that is a true love of mine! I cannot wait to see her!
Have a wonderful week...
