Amelia's Journey: Tummy Time....
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2009/05/tummy-time.html
Friday, May 1, 2009. If you know anything about people. That are wheelchair bound or in bed too long, you know all about the possibilities of skins sores, bed sores, etc. Amelia spends a great deal of time on her bottom or back. The potential for skin breakdown is pretty high. If we keep her skin dry (thank goodness she's potty trained) and rotate her position, we should be able to keep her from getting any sores. She did get one while we were in the hospital, but it is all healed now. Getzinger Family's...

Amelia's Journey: October 2008
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 24, 2008. Button, button, who's got the button? Another trip down and a few more to go. Amelia's casts were changed this week and she got a new set. She wasn't suppose to get the casts completely changed, was only suppose to get a fiberglass overwrap. But between the two of us, we destroyed the old ones. I love Dr. Dobbs. She's so dramatic.she whimpers the entire time he is sawing, but she can still eat a pretzel. Go figure! She kept repeating and pointing. Then came the bottom of her...

Saturday, February 28, 2009. CHINESE NEW YEAR 2009. Do you ever put something off for so long and then when you finally get around to it, you feel so guilty for putting it off that you put if off even longer? Well, that's what has happened to me. I put off updating and then I continue to put if off because I don't know where to begin and the vicious cycle continues. So here I am, updating you on Amelia. And regular shoes and she started wearing her Dobbs. Brace again. She hasn't looked back. Examine Amel...

Amelia's Journey: When I get my casts off...
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2009/05/when-i-get-my-casts-off.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. When I get my casts off. Hey Mom, I tell you something. When I get my casts off, I go to swimmin' pool, I put my gobbles on.". Anyhoo, it's her thing.this is a video conversation she was having with her Auntie Candy. She didn't say, "I tell you something." I never seem to be able to catch that part. Ready to roll to St. Louie. But hearing that final "pop" with the cast cracker, was music to my ears. Not so much for Millie! Very concerned right before the saw starts. And as a discl...

Amelia's Journey: May 2008
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2008. New Brace and AFOs. We did a "power trip" (there and back in a day) to St. Louis last week to pick up Amelia's new brace and AFOs. Steve went with me so I had someone to share the driving with it made the drive much easier! We're already seeing a difference in Amelia's ability to stand she'll even stand unprompted! Make a Smilebox free ecard. Monday, May 19, 2008. For a slide show of some pictures of the day! Battle of the Brace sleeping CONTROL. And I do mean screaming! I even wen...

Amelia's Journey: Millie's post op check up
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2009/05/millies-post-op-check-up.html
Friday, May 8, 2009. Millie's post op check up. Steve returned to St. Louis yesterday all by his lonesome with Miss Millie for a her post op check up. This appointment is generally scheduled at the two week point. But since we live so far away, they pushed us out to three weeks to grant us a bit of a reprieve from driving back so soon. For that, we say thank you Team Dobbs. Anyway, I released control and let Steve take Millie without me! 2 Dear Daughter Number Two has taken on a bit of a " tude. Now if I...

Amelia's Journey: July 2008
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2008. July 16, 2007. July 11, 2008. My social worker believes that Amelia is lucky to have us for parents. Her words to me were, “Isn’t she lucky to have you! If she would have had a first-time-parent, imagine the havoc she could have caused in their lives! 8221; All I can say to that is, you might want to ask Amelia about that. But seriously, I have had to be very stern with her! It’s music to my ears, especially when we are having a tough day. Running through the sprinkler together.

Amelia's Journey: November 2008
http://journey2amelia.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. In just one week, the final set of casts will come off. I can hardly believe it, but I'm so ready for that day to come. I'm actually releasing control and I'm going to let Steve return to St. Louis without me. Can you believe it? I'm going to stay home and attend some wrestling "stuff" with Tucker. He actually has his body fat assessment on that day and I don't want to miss it for fear of the outcome being bad. I don't think it will be bad, but I just want to be there. Look at...
