As I think about the holidays, which is only a few days away, I can’t help but wonder what the heck I’m going to make this year for Christmas dinner!
Simmi is a meat hound, and thank god she can eat all meats, but becoming creative during these holidays has me drawing a blank as to [...]
On Friday December 18th, I needed to take my son to the doctor to get a sports physical. Whenever I have to take Simmi out to the store or anywhere else, that nagging fear of what is lurking on the floor or in some seat cushion is always plaguing me. I’ve learned to live with [...]
I just wanted to say “Thank You” to the parents that have reached out to me and Simmi. I am so inspired by you all and I don’t feel so alone in caring for her now. Dom and I are always searching for answers and trying to connect with other parents that could give good [...]
Yesterday as I was doing research on Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils, I came across this extremely interesting and promising article. I’ve been following some studies which tend to suggest that Omega 3 and 6 oils can help to assist in the speech of children with vocal Apraxia and of course I want to [...]
It has been a long time since I’ve written about Simmi and I apologize for not keeping up with my blog. I’ve had my own little mini health crisis as well as writer’s block which has made me completely unmotivated to even attempt to write. I’ll only be giving a brief synopsis of the different [...]
Simmi has been a little “off” for the last few days after we deviated from the schedule we have with her and decided to take her out. Dom took her to church where there is a playground in the back. She loved being there and since its covered, a lot of light was kept out. [...]
Simmi has been doing great as long as we keep her in her room with the curtain and blanket covering the window. She only had one difficult morning a few days ago. She wouldn’t get up from her pillow and I had to get into the crib and hold her till she stopped crying. She [...]
Without jinxing the rest of the day, I must say that the last few days have been going exceptionally well. I am really proud of her. It started on Monday morning when it was raining out. The sun wasn’t out and her curtain was covering her window, making the room the lowest daylight so far. [...]
As I read more about Cortical Visual Impairment I’m finding so many awesome things to sooth my little savage beast! Children with CVI can become very overwhelmed with lots of stimuli. If the noise level is too high, the light is too bright or low, if there is a lot of action going on in [...]
Ok, the title of this entry is “Progress and Chipped Teeth.” What the heck does that mean? Well, we are making progress with Simmi in the speech department, slowly and surely. Now that I wear lipstick during the day (I still forget sometimes to put it on), she is far more attentive to my face [...]
