Christina has been sick along with the rest of us. A respiratory infection has caught her. It does not stop the princess from wanting to go to school.

Christina LOVES school and riding the bus.

Christina has also been doing well with swim therapy and enjoys going. Speech will start next week two days a week. Horseback riding will also start soon.

The latest round of shots has been good so far; however, the injection sites on the back of her right arm became irritated and made Christina very uncomfortable. We called the doctor and she was prescribed Vicodin for the pain. All better after a few days.

Been sick. Feeling like crap.

Falling behind on back ups. Not good. Thinking I will give Crash Plan a try this month.

Lots of appointments coming up for the princess. Lets see...

Pre-op, Phenol blocks and Botox shots, Dr. Walker, AFO fitting, school.

Along with swim therapy once a week and Young Athletes twice a week.

Christina definitely likes to go go go.

Christina has also been doing well using the diazepam. There was a day her tone was outrageously high. And she had a small fever that afternoon and slept a lot. Probably caught a bug and her body needed to fight it off.

As per usual, Christina has been chatty and Tuesday was very giggly.

Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, I have a lot of cherry tomatoes. Picked more last night and I'm running out of room. I think I am going to see what my options are to freeze some.

I also have a few peppers that are finally ready. I cooked with some last night and they have a bit of a bite.

The strawberries did not do well. I think I neglected them too much. The plants look good; however, I did not get much fruit. Perhaps I will try to bring them inside for the winter.

As usual there always seems to be something going on. I have also decided to maintain a social life. Although that seems to make more work.

I have a good start on a fool proof backup strategy. Picture backups are going well. Also working on a strategy for trans-coding movies.

School starts soon for Christina. She is in first grade already. Wow, does time fly.

Christina's last physical confirmed the princess is growing like a weed.

Christina weighs in at 33 pounds and is 40.5 inches tall.

Christina has been loving the water with the hot weather. She has also been super talkative. ST is done until next semester. Young Athletes starts tomorrow and the water therapy continues. School starts just around the corner.

Christina's tone has been very bad. It may be the cause of the spots. We started Valium to help with the tone and it seems to be helping a lot. Christina has been in even better spirits than her cheery self.

Not much else going on. Still going over the IEP and getting frustrated.

Christina has been enjoying her summer.

There have been some rash outbreaks, fevers, blah feeling, but Christina has been a trooper through it all and still wanted to play.

It has been extra hot lately so our outside time has been in short durations. I think Christina misses going to school and seeing her classmates. Various therapies have started and that fills in some of the gaps.

Christina had a doctor appointment was fitted for another pair of AFOs.

Christina's tone has been worse and we started her on Valium to help relax the muscles.

Happy Birthday Christina!!!

Six years ago today, Christina came to walk with me on this journey.

Love you Christina!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA!!!

Christina, you have taught me to appreciate every moment.

Watching you has also inspired me to always have determination and to never give up.

Lots of kisses for you.
