Savannah Walking

Just thought you all might like to see a video of Savannah Walking with her walker. She is really getting motivated to walk. She is starting to push up into a bear crawl position, and trying to get standing without assistance. She wa also refitted today for some new walking splints that should help her not hyper-extend her knees so much. It is so bad we had to get her the turbo splints. She is so skinny yet so strong.

we stopped her sleeping medicine this last friday. We had to ween her off of it gradually, because it is a anti-psychotic/ mood stabilizer. Although she was only on it for sleep. It is so much fun seeing how much her personality has come back since taking her off it. He is so much fun, and laughs all the time. We really missed that.

Savannah Update

A year Ago.
Now

Well this past week marks the year aniversary of Savannah's Sickness. She started pre-school at Dan Paterson. It is a special needs school that teaches pre-k through 12th grade. She goes five days a week from noon to 3:30. She loves her teacher, and her new friend Emma, Who is Just adorable. Emma has down-syndrome and the sweetest spirit. She and Savannah Spend alot of time hugging and Kissing each other. And During Signing time, Emma Goes around the classroom and helps each kid Do each Sign. Even the ones who can hardly respond. So cute! Savannah Is still having a hard time with the bus, but were not really sure how much is just a show for us. The driver says she only cries till the bus leaves. and than is fine. Or until the bus pulls into our complex. Needless to say, Savannah Has come along way in a year. Although we had hoped that her recovery would have gone alot faster, we have no doubt that the Lord knows and Loves our Savannah, and has her best intrest in mind. Thank you all for your support over this past year.

Nana Is Crawling!!

Now that she is crawling again, she is getting into everything. Its so fun to see her exploring. She wants to see and figure out everything on her own. She is definately the same old Savannah.

Sitting Pretty

Pre-school Update!

On Wednesday, Savannah Cried getting on to the bus. Although Jackie, her bus driver said she stopped crying before they were even out of the Parking lot. She didn't cry at all during school. However, her teacher said you could tell she was getting tired the last fifteen minutes of school. She had a great ride home and was all smiles while she was getting of of the bus. Amazing! Hopefully she will continue doing so well. Knock on wood. P.S. I no longer cry either when it is time for School. Baby Steps.

Happy Baby News!

I apologize for the awefulness of this picture. Our scanner is broken so I had to take a picture of it with my camera. Anyway, We are expecting a wonderful new baby! During the sonogram we could see the heart beating and the Baby dancing. It was so fun to see. The baby is due November 28, which puts us just under nine week right now. The y baby is about the size of a green olive. We are so happy, and cant wait to see our new blessing.

While the Cats Away...

Well Juris and I decided the best thing for us to do while Savannah is at school, was to keep busy. We were able to go to the Temple and get almost everything done for Juris' Grandparents on his fathers side. We still need to do the sealing. It is so nice to be able to to do that for them. We are also planning on going and volunteering at D.I. Alternateing between the two.

Savannah is doing better with school. She only cries once she gets on the bus from home, until they finish picking up kids. And only cries on the way home once she sees Juris Waiting for her. The only problems ive heard with the actual school is when it comes time to do one on one with her for therapy. She cries the entire time during that. Hopefully we wont have a relapse with spring break coming up next week. Were keeping our finger crossed.
