It's going to be a busy Fall...

[Guest guest]

Howdy Folks!

here in Lynchburg, Va. Well, we went to the University of

Virginia because according to one physical therapist and Dr. H., our

son Connor was going to need some correction to his back due to

kyphosis (c-curve). Quite frankly, the ortho doc at UVA asked us in

a not so polite way, " What the * & %$# are you doing here? " They saw

no noticeable curve that needed correcting. In fact, they won't do

anything until he's six or seven. Sigh.

I finally ran into that academic snobbery that many of you mentioned

at convention. Apparently because Dr. H. isn't published (yet)

other professionals (and I use that word scathingly here) will not

give her or her treatment recommendations the time of day. My heart

really goes out to Jody in Austrailia. Quite frankly, I think you

have the patience of a saint. I think by this time I would be

carrying a very big stick with me when I go back to a doctor like

that.

Well, the good news is that our P.T. is going to do some deep muscle

massage and manipulation. Similar to chiropractor work, but

slightly different. Even she was stumpted as to why the Dr.'s at

UVA refused treatment. Oh well.

Onto other stuff.

I'm volunteering for my church right now as the youth group leader.

I't's kept me pretty busy planning events and juggling my kid's

schedule with it. Graham has started kids yoga and loves it.

Cameron has finally adjusted to his teacher in pre school. He was

very attatched to his teacher last year.

Connor is doing great. No complaints. I think his nutritional

growth spurt is over because his appetite has declined steadily over

the last two weeks. I'll start the periactin again on Sunday. When

he's growing, he's eating. When he's not growing, he would subsist

on three Pediasure bottles a day. However, since I know his rythmn

now, it doesn't freak me out so bad anymore. The new Speech

Therapist is a dream. The old speech therapist is being cordial,

but really isn't speaking to me. Sigh. I've learned my lesson to

well.

Prayer's being sent your way Jody in Austrailia. I know I owe you

pictures but is traveling so much right now and getting him on

the computer at home looks to much like work....so, I'm waiting for

an opportune time. My mother in law thinks Liam is to precious for

words. She finally " saw " the thing we were telling her about how

all RSS people look alike, especially when they are kids. Liam and

Connor could be " mate's " and brother's!

Blessings to you all and good luck on the walk a thon's! Together

we all make a difference!
