Another kid in braces...

Happy Birthday Madeline !

Can't believe that you are 13 !!

Juvenille Scoliosis Update

Today Keaton and Madeline had check ups at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Keaton's measurements are holding. Keaton continues to be braced 20/24 hours a day. He is such a trooper ! He will see the pediatric neurologist again in January and he will have another MRI to check his syrinx. Madeline is doing well. She will be watched more closely for the next year because she is hitting a big growth spurt - she turns 13 on Saturday !

I am so thankful for their stable health and thankful that we have the resources to address any future issues should they come up.

Happy Thanksgiving !

My mom and my sisters.

Harrison making breakfast.

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving breakfast at home and then went by Mike and Jill's house. Unfortunately I did not have my camera. Eli loved playing with Bethany. Eli loved the "party". We did a little shopping this morning and we are busy decorating the house. Eli has 1000 questions about the Thanksgiving and Christmas. We feel very blessed to see the holidays through new eyes and his questions certainly make us reflect on the reasons behind Thanksgiving and Christmas.
