Good morning friends. I am getting sick.  Having Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Hypothyroidism, this means that I need to be proactive in fighting the infection.  Uggh… this means that I need to lengthen the amount of  rest I get as well as increase my liquid intake. Hopefully the prednisone I am taking will bolster my bodies ability to fight what ever bug I am developing.

Positive outcomes

Very positive outcomes today from the team at the cleft palette clinic. Speech is highly intelligible. Hearing loss on the left side, may need tube in that side but will know more later this Spring. He grew 14 inches though. Won’t be long before he is taller than I am. David, our youngest has been fabulous today. No issues, no outbursts, very positive behavior. So proud of him.

@ Cleft Palette Clinic

Today our goal is to attend the annual cleft palette clinic for our oldest boy. Hard to believe we have been coming to these for 14 years already. They keep a growth chart and photo record, he has grown 14 inches in the past year. No wonder we can’t keep him in pants. Seeing the photo record is amazing as well. The clinic takes about 2 hours for the older kids. So far we have been here for 45 minutes. No complaints. More later, they are calling us again. Tweet #fighting4answrs
