Non-Stop Day

Today was another very full day. I had to leave for the CRS clinic at 7:30 this morning so we were all up and moving early. John leaves for work at 6:30 every day and so we are always up early...just not always moving! We got breakfast done and the boys mostly ready for school before I left. Luckily we have found someone to help us out for a short time. There is a girl in our ward who is just here for a couple of months who is basically totally free during the days, so she is able to work with our crazy schedule. She came over last week for a few hours while I was here and then watched the kids and cleaned up a bit while I was out today. It was nice to have someone here so I could drop kids off and pick them up as needed today. I feel like I didn't see poor Annalise at all today though. Maybe tomorrow I'll get more snuggle time with her!

Today's appointment was with an orthopedic specialist. Another Dr. to add to Bryce's list. While we were there, they took X-Rays of his hips. Unfortunately they found that they are not growing correctly, so we will be going back every six months for X-Rays to monitor that. The SWASH that he has will hopefully help that some also. Once we get him a gait trainer (walker) and get him up on his feet more, that should help also. Maybe this new information will help move that process along. I seriously can't believe how long it takes to get things through the system. It's so frustrating! We will also be going back to get Bryce fitted for some splints for his hands. He keeps his hands fisted most of the time and these are suppose to help with that. They say he will still be able to use his hands while he has the splints on, so I hope that will be the case.

On the way home we stopped at Albertsons to pick up a few things that were on sale and made it home just in time to drop Bryce off, pick Spencer up and head to Music class. After music we quickly stopped by the house to get Bryce and Annalise, and headed over to the school to pick up the older kids. Then home to do homework, have dinner, and head to Pack meeting. William received some awards for things he had earned at day camp. It was a very well done meeting and the kids behaved pretty well so that made for a nice evening. We then came home and got the kids down to bed. William has been having a hard time falling asleep the last few nights so he came out a time or two, but has finally fallen asleep! John got together with a few guys to practice a song they will be singing in church on Sunday and was kind enough to stop at Basha's to pick up some milk for us.

Tomorrow looks like another busy day including things like dentist appointments for the boys at 7:45 AM, Bryce's OT appointment, an evaluation for an aug com device or talking board, and Jacob's music class. All good things, just a busy, busy day!
