A Happy Holiday Season to All…

2009-12-06 MDA Santa Crew

Wanted to share some HAPPY Holiday pictures from the last week or sooo…

Ally’s been having a wonderful time with her Art teacher Joan painting some holiday crafts and gifts.  Melissa and I visited Santa at the mall (since I’ve spent so much time bargain shopping with our last income tax check).  I was able to go to Kristyn’s end of the season Cheerleading hotel party and pizza dinner.  Best of all, we went to the MDA Holiday Party and took some amazing pictures with Santa and his crew.  Mrs. Clause and one of the elves remembered Ally from last year and spend some special quality time with her.  Ally had her dynavox computer with her and was saying “Hi”, “My name is Ally”, and “Merry Christmas, ho! ho! ho!”  Melissa had some fun building a wooden schoolbus and decorating cookies.  Not sure how much more we will be able to go out of the house this winter, so I’m very glad we had a wonderful time. 

Friday, Ally will be going to a new pulmonologist at Children’s Memorial.  We are excited to formally meet Dr. Lestrud and work on maybe switching Ally to the Trilogy vent/bi-pap or something that can offer her more support to avoid her left lung collapsing so easily when she gets sick.  So far, I am VERY impressed with his nurse practioner, Jenny.  Hopefully there won’t be too much snow on the ground we when venture out.
