Car seats, new school and dogs

The new car seat came! It is great. We tease Eve and tell her that she looks like a mama bird in her nest. It's like we took our Lazy Boy from our house and stuck it in our car! Thanks to those that shifted their Kiddie Pool donations!!

Eve started school this past week and did great! She spends the whole day there and comes home TIRED. No tears, and she even napped on Friday. She has slept better this week than she has in months. She also "laughed with glee" at her classmates dancing. Jim and I are interpreting that as her trademark squeal of happiness. She has charmed the pants off everyone of course. I was even in the grocery store with her today and a woman came up to me, "Is that Eve?" Her twins are in Eve's class. Too funny. We are very very happy with her school and apparently so is she.

Today we were evaluated for a PCA (Personal care assistant). A nurse and a therapist came over to find out about Eve's care and abilities. They are going to recommend 22 hours a week for a PCA. Now we wait to see if MA approves this. We can start looking for people to hire, but we need to wait to see how many hours a week they can work. Pretty neat. We might be able to stop paying for daycare and have someone help us out in our home.

Let's see...what else? I'm still trying to figure out equipment. I called Shriner's hospital, but they won't see her just for equipment. She has to be a patient there for medical care first. Hmmmm....so I don't know what to do. Does she need an orthopaedist? I'll have to email her physical therapist.

By the way, this is how I am trying to type right now. Oh, and it was super hard to get this shot with my left hand. My right hand was trapped.

Enjoy your weekend!
