The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Yeah, that's what I thought. But I also know now that we sometimes need to be prepared to step in and help when they need us.  When our kids were little, I never imagined that we were raising one daughter with such a serious metal illness that we'd have to step in and take her kids someday, raising them as our own.  And I didn't anticipate our son having not just one but 2 disabled daughters.  I'm just grateful to the Good Lord that we have been young and for the most part healthy enough to pitch in where we are needed.  I know those days are rapidly coming to an end, but next year Kendra will be in all-day kindergarten so she'll go to school when her mom does, and get out of school a couple of hours after Jenny gets off. Timing on that was just about right! 


"They say" that these should be the years in our lives when Ken and I should be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the time we have left.  Know what?  Although it may seem hectic to some, to us we are definitely enjoying our retirement just the way God intended us to, and it feels mighty good!  

Amen Blooie! You are fabulous

Just talked to my mother about my nephew. I am PI$$ed! ​ The doctor had tests run on my nephew's gall bladder, not his throat! How on earth does a doctor make a mistake like that?!? Now they are going to a different doc and have to start all over again with testing the right part of his body. Hopefully, the new doc knows his head from his azz.



So the wait starts all over again.

OMG Debby! They aren't even close together...I'd be royally ticked too! Was his gall bladder ok since they screwed up?

Why, thank you!  I didn't realize it until you mentioned it!  Wow!  Do you realize that that probably equates to 3 or 4 posts containing anything of substance?  

Big day for Kendra at school today!  So far all the kids have accepted her just as she is.  She is the first one out the door at dismissal and Ken and I are waiting as Miss Pam pushes her out in her wheelchair.  Then the other kids are right behind her, we have to stop, turn and face them, and everyone of them says, "Bye Kendra" as they walk past her.  She just giggles and waves "bye" at each one.  They bring her toys, help push her chair from circle time to story corner, and so on.  She's just part of their class and they don't care that she doesn't speak to them - she interacts with them as she can and that's plenty good enough for them.  

This morning she took her black wallet with her "Go Fish" cards inside it.  She loves those cards because they are for toddlers so the numbers are bright and clear, and instead of clubs, diamonds, etc they have different sea critters on them.  (8 crabs, 1 Octopus, etc) So when  it was her turn for Show and Tell, she got her wallet out of her backpack and opened it up.  Then she started taking out the cards, saying the number on the card and naming what critter was on it.  The kids were astounded!  They were jumping up and down and saying, "Kendra can talk, she can talk!!"  After that class got a more than a little disrupted because kids kept leaving what they were doing, running up to her, pointing at themselves and telling her, "Say Kate" or "Say Connor"!  They all wanted her to say their names and were encouraging her like crazy, and cheering for her when she got one!  I guess it was incredible!  Wish I'd have been there!  And God bless those teachers for realizing this was a moment of learning for both Kendra and the other kids and, aside from trying to keep it orderly, they just let it all unfold naturally!  Oh, what a moment for all of them.  I'm bawling again.

You just brought tears to my eyes Blooie...

That's idiotic - does the Dr speak English? Or can they read?

This makes no sense at all

Could you get the HIPPA forms signed to allow you or someone else to be involved with the next consult?

Good morning everyone!

Sunflour, my brother & his wife will be back in town to oversee the next round of doctors/testing so things should go smoother. My brother is a retired doctor and lives in the same town so my nephew will have a competent person to watch over things.

Got word last night my oldest DS is now in WY! He'll stay with mom & nephew for a couple of days then we're all going to meet up Sunday and he'll come to our house. Sunday is his birthday so that makes it even more special. Can't believe how OLD he's going to be (36)...how does that happen?

Hope you all have a good one!
