A Botox Update!

CP

Oh Botox. My love/hate relationship with you continues. If you’ve been following our Botox saga (found here and here) we have a small update.
Jillian’s next appointment for Botox injections will be on February 15 at the Hospital For Sick Children under conscious sedation. Good news, right? Well, I’m not exactly jumping for joy yet.

A Cerebral Palsy Update

CP

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I haven’t talked much about CP around these parts lately. It’s not that I don’t WANT to, it’s that I try to paint this pretty little persona that I have everything under control, or that I complain waaaaaaay too much on my blog (I’ve been told that I don’t [...]

Cerebral Palsy and Botox

CP

If you’ve visited here a lot, you might remember my ongoing battle with our insurance company, Manulife Financial regarding Botox injections to ease spasticity in children with Cerebral Palsy. During this extremely lengthy time, I have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty fabulous people. Keeping me going, motivating, celebrating, it’s fabulous really. Recently, a [...]

Cerebral Palsy Connection- Post 2 + Monday Mojo!

CP

Between this, Monday Mojo and Wordless Wednesday, I shouldn’t run out of things to talk about! I generally blog better when I have a topic in mind. So, this week, you’ll get 2 things for the price of 1. On second thought… You’re not paying anything to begin with. Oh never mind.

This is actually a repeat post that I originally posted on 5 Minutes for Special Needs. I’m sharing it now so hopefully I can come up with a new Christmas song this year! What do you think?

Wordless Wednesday- Pimp My Ride!

CP

Since receiving Jillian’s walker, I have had some grand plans to deck it out for the season/holiday. Today, we went to buy some mini Christmas lights and Jillian picked out this phenomenally awesome bright pink ribbon/ball garland.
So far, we’re half done. Managed to get the Christmas lights in place! Next up garland!
Wickedly Awesome Garland:

Does This Mean We Get a Gimpy Pass?

CP-connection

(Now let me preface this by saying the title of my post is not to offend anyone! I’m participating in a CP Connection with Ellen Stumbo- whom I love- and I thought I’d touch on a part of our story that I haven’t shared yet) Disregard the cute little graphic below. My blog hates me [...]

Botox+Manulife=Happily Ever After?

CP

I have SO many things to write about today. I will definitely try not to be too discombobulated! First- I am currently working on a very large thank you post to everyone who has helped us in the last week. Hard to believe it’s just been over a week! Thanks to Rhea’s ingenious idea of [...]

Wordless Wednesday- Flat feet 2

CP

I’m reposting this picture since by the time you read this, we should be on our way to the Hospital For Sick Children to get Jillian’s 2nd round of Botox. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to update this “flat feet” picture.
I can not stop expressing my gratitude to you all. Because of YOU, you [...]

Since We’re Still Waiting…

CP

Jillian’s appointment is on Wednesday and from generosity of people (for the most part) I have never met in real life, this is astonishing!! Before Rhea put the auction live yesterday, we had raised $700 in CASH to go towards Jillian’s injections on Wednesday. I keep saying thank you SO many times, and I really [...]
