Meet Sammy!!! 

Long time no blog-We finally have high speed internet access after months of using dial up(UGGHHH). So I was not  using the computer much because it was painfully slow. We also added a new member to our family. His name is Sammy and he is a 9 week old Shetland Sheepdog. We have been on the fence about getting a new dog after Shelby died back in November. Well, we came across a local breeder and just decided to do it. It was hard to keep it a secret from Tommy and Gianna but we did it! On 4/19 we planned a treasure hunt for 

them complete with clues and a treasure chest. Out popped Sammy! The kids were so excited and surprised! He is just the cutest ball of fur! The latest on Gianna?? She is doing great in school and I have registered her for Bright Futures in September. This program is run by our school district and is a typical pre-school setting, unlike the class she is in now which is comprised of all children with disabilities. I love the program but we really feel Gianna needs: #1 more hours, and #2, more interaction with typical peers. We have also put her on a waiting list for a TSS worker. We find out in a few weeks if she gets in so keep your fingers crossed. I am looking forward to having the summer off and relaxing. I am also looking forward to getting together on 6/7 with the other WS families I have met on-line. It will be so exciting to finally put faces to names! Gianna will also be in her 2nd wedding as a flower girl on 6/14!! Soooo exciting. Please also keep your fingers crossed and also say a prayer as she has an MRI coming up to rule out Chiari. On a recent visit to CHOP Dr. Kaplan was a bit concerned and suggested she have a sedated MRI done. I'll keep everyone posted. I am hoping to update more often. Happy Spring and Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies!!!
