We are okay...I am addicted to FACEBOOK!

I am so bad at updating my blog that I created. We have been so busy since 2009 began. Harrison started his new school on January 6th. He has been sick 3 times already. He was at school the first week and then on the 12th he came home with a fever. Three days home and diagnosed with strep throat (our first). Then we went to Disney World on the 17th. We got back the 21 and he went to school on 22nd and 23rd of January. That weekend he had another little fever that went away. The last week of January school was closed for one day because ice. Then William got a fever and it was induced by his asthma. So, here we are in February. On Saturday the 7th I went to a wedding shower and bragged about Harrison not having an ear infection since last March. Ha, never brag ladies it will bite you in the butt. I got home and my husband said H's hair was stuck to his ear from puss draining out of his right ear. Well, the ear had to be suctioned out by his ENT yesterday and now we are on drops for 7 days. If it doesn't clear up he will go to plan B. Welcome to the new germ pool Harrison. By the way, I found out that H is only receiving 20 minutes of Speech a week at his new school. At this rate he may talk in time for college. I am planning to get him private speech.

Words...he finally said Pappa for daddy. He says:
pappa
mama
nana (grandmother)
nana (banana)
nana (no)
all (ball)
iii (William)
houw (house)
uuu (blue)

He knows his shapes circle, square, triangle, and diamond. He knows 3 colors: blue, red, and yellow.

It is so cute. We are so thrilled he has the words he has. He is still signing a lot. I am sure he may have more words, but we haven't figured them out yet.

I'll write more later. He got weighed at nephrology...he weighs a whopping 28 pounds.

I'm so sorry to hear about all the sickness! I sure hope he can shake it all and be healthy for the rest of the cold season.

I just bragged YESTERDAY about how healthy Elijah has been....and guess what? Yep! Not any more.

The words are great! It's so wonderful to see progress when you've waited so long for it.

Hi from Germany,

I found your blog by chance.

I have a special needs boy, too.

My son, Fabian, age 10, is wheelchair bound since he fell from a tree two years ago.

It was a very hard time for all of us after Fabians accident. The moment when the doctor told us, that Fabian is paralyzed and the moment when we must told him that he never walk again, was so terrible. Especially terrible was the day, when Fabian got his first wheelchair. I still cry when I saw him sitting in his wheelchair at the first time.

But Fabian is so brave! I am so proud of him.

Since his accident Fabian visits a school for special needs kids. All other kids in his class are disabled, too. The most kids must use a wheelchair, tree kids can walk with a walker / quad canes.

Every Saturday Fabian visits a sport group for children in wheelchairs. Two hours they play together in their wheelchairs. It is so funny for the kids.

Two month ago he got a new “Spidermann”-wheelchair.

If you are interest I will send you some photos of him in his new wheelchair.

I will be glad about a short answer mail.

Best wishes Katja
