Sister is home!!

Sister came home from the hospital!!

Joy is so kind!

Sister is in the hospital for a few days with some breathing difficulties.  Joy had her class make a get well card.  She drew it and then had everyone sign it.  Love that.

Visiting Santa

APH

We went to American Printing House for the Blind. They had a class on creating tactile Christmas cards and ornaments.  Joy LOVED it!

We also got to tour the museum.

Gall Bladder

Joy has been having a lot of pain from her gall bladder. Wednesday it was removed. She was pretty sick, but she’s doing so much better now.

Hot dog 🌭

Joy brought me a hot dog.  She loves hot dogs and I guess she thought I should too!

I love how generous she is with the mustard!  haha

End of an Era

Pampering Day!

Ice Cream

We stopped for ice cream - they didn't have vanilla, so she got the closest they had, cookies and cream.

(Haha!! Her sister photobombing the picture!)

She likes to stay home

with her setup, her ipad in reach, her phone, her toys, her umbrella chair - I can't say I blame her for waiting to stay home!

Teen Club

On Thursdays, our Down Syndrome group has Teen Club.

Joy and a new doctor

Because she doesn’t need any more surgeries, ortho has sent us onto Physical Medicine and Rehab for maintenance of her scoliosis, limb leg discrepancy, and her need for ankle braces.  She loved that she did t have to get up early to go to school!! ☺️
