Little Arm
Strange little moment
I had a crazy day… The kind of day when you wake up you don’t want to get up but if you don’t everything will just get crazier. Jordan had a meeting at our house that was followed by an appointment for both dogs at the vet that was followed by a gathering where I…

Jordan had a very busy weekend. It started with a Friday night trip to the Cardinals. She had an amazing time especially when you consider the fact that she should have been in bed at the time the game started! She loved the hot dog, she loved seeing Fred Bird (she even had his picture…

We had another meeting with the physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor that’s worked with us since Jordan was three months old. I’ve used him as a back-up source… And extra eye on Jordan’s care so we can be sure that she’s developing and getting the proper care. Today we arrived to show off her growing…

I took Jordan to have her blood drawn to get us closer to finding out if she has a food allergy (or some kind of allergy). No fun. We had to have three people to make it happen. I held her body. Another woman held her arm while another woman too Jordan’s blood. Miss Jordan…

My girl Originally uploaded by NerdyMom So I had kind of hoped Jordan had a parasite so we had an answer to her health issues. No luck. Her kind doctor emailed the results to me tonight as I asked for more ideas on how to stop these ickies. Her diaper messes got worse today. It’s…

Thank goodness it’s the weekend! It’s been a long one for some reason. Miss Jordan’s grandparents are here to spend some time with us. Thank goodness they were here — I needed to get Jordan into the doctor since her gross and unexplainable diaper issues continue to wreak havoc on her bottom and clothing. I…

When you walk by Jordan when she wears her myo, she looks a little muscular on one side — the prosthetic is a little wider than a standard little girl’s arm. Then you have to look a little closer to notice the arm is permanently bent at an almost 90-degree angle. Then you notice the…

Jordan’s battery on her prosthetic just flat out failed. So it should be back home by tomorrow for her using enjoyment again. She has been pretty uninterested in using the passive prosthetic. It isn’t heavy and she can move it around more… But she’s been pretty off balance using it. I guess I didn’t realize…
Read More +A fun day at the park
We spent the day at an event called Art in the Park. We got to see cool art, eat yummy food and watch the kids play. The best part for Jordan was a huge sand area to play. She was almost swimming in it. She was a mess and I didn’t care. We had a…

So I was helping edit video for a conference this past week. Yesterday I had to bring Jordan in with me for a little while. She came in while a panel discussion was underway. Every once and a while, she had to babble about how happy she was with her apple slices. I’d shush her…
