Hard to wrap your mind around....

You know, Joey is really bouncing back. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around the reality of every thing I have read. With Mito... you aren't supposed to bounce back quick from sickness and it usually takes something out of you. Well, Joey is on the rebound and better than ever!! Let me tell you, a good friend and mentor (pastor Don) e-mailed something to me that just really hits home with Joey and with reality. =) Quoted exactly as he wrote "There is a name that is above every name. It is above the name "mitochondrial." You know the name. You live for the name. You live because of the name. Every knee must bow to the name. Mitochondrial must bow its knee to the name of Jesus Christ." Tonight, Joey has been into every thing... including my kitchen counters... He's standing, he's walking holding onto furniture and even using one of those training walkers that you stand behind and push... He has managed to attack my laundry room and even put a toy in the dryer! So... Joey says, look out world, I got Jesus on my team and there is nothing holding me back! =) I tell you, that little man has so much spunk! ... OK, on a less serious note... Joey's drawers have some serious issues with staying up! Ha! OK, any one, who does that remind you of!?!?!?! =) I think Papaw would be the word for that! OK, I'm out of here before I get myself in trouble!

The glasses are in!

Well, I got the call first thing this a.m. that Abby's glasses had arrived... so Aunt Christi and I made a trip to Indy today to pick them up! Abby was very excited until she realized that the prescription made her feel funny... that girl has some strong lenses! Whew. She seems to be adjusting quickly though. She complains they bother her some, but we will get there. =) I think she took them off a thousand times and I can't tell you how many times I found them laying lens side down on the kitchen counter! We got a good chuckle though... My sister had glasses about this age and well, Abby is a spitting image of Aunt Christi... Makes her look just like Aunt Christi's little girl pictures! =) Too precious!

On a happy note as well, Joey and Abby are feeling MUCH better today. Lots of giggles back in the house today! That is always a wonderful thing to hear especially after every one has been grouchy! =) Germies need to go away and stay away!! Anyways, things are back to their usual. Joey is eating again... 13 cheerios down the hatch tonight and yep... he ate his butter to balance out those carbs! =) He likes to have the butter (part of a keto diet for those of you wondering why I give our son butter with cheerios!) on top of his cheerios. Ha! Sounds interesting! Abby is wearing big girl panties these days. =) Only one accident today! Yeah!!!

On a sad note, we said good-bye to Aleyna tonight. She is our dietitian. She'll still be Joey's dietitian, but she'll be far away. =( We'll miss her!

Well, night all!

Wonderful Monday....

I am excited about this Monday! I get to announce to you that I have lost another five pounds! High five to myself!!! =) So, that puts me at a total loss of 10 lbs. now. I'm on my way!!

Keto Fries....

Well, Joey had a go at his Keto Fries today (Zucchini cut into fries and deep fried). He can't have tatoes because of the carbs... so, we simply substitute! I can't say that they are my favorite and well, they kind of gross me out... but he sure tore into them tonight!!!! Go bubby!!!! He was an absolute mess when he got done. He is still having trouble chewing right now... but he sure got into the mess of things with out much to be concerned about! What a handsome man! He is getting so big! I can't believe that he is nine months old and quickly nearing 10 mths!!!! Oh my goodness!

Abby and Joey are both a bit better today. Still sick, but hanging right in there. I will be glad when this crazy weather gets its mind made up! All this up and down is almost worse than the flu season!!!!

What a dumby!!!!!

OK, word to the wise... DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER eat popcorn when you have a sore throat! I shared a bag with Abby tonight and well, I feel as though I swallowed a knife! Egad! It hurts! OK, for all of you crazy people like me, I just wanted to give you a warning... DON'T DO IT! It doesn't taste good enough to endure the pain... trust me... I love popcorn... I'll never ever do it again! =)

My batteries are dead....

Don't be shocked. I know it is unlike me to have two posts in a row with no pictures... I truly am sorry! My stinky batteries are dead... Sorrow and remorse! OK, enough of that. We had an exciting day today. Abby picked out her glasses! It was hysterical! She knew exactly what she wanted and buddy, you were not getting them off of her face! Ha! We had to bribe her to get her out the door with out them so that they could put the lenses in! Little stinker! I'm telling you what! I couldn't believe how attached she got. She picked out a cute little pink pair that had Disney princesses on them... AND bonus now! She gets a Disney princess purse to match! I never get any thing like that with my glasses! What on earth is this about!?!?!?! She was just way too cute in them! We pick them up next week. Bubby had a series of seizures, so we were freaking out about that. We saw our friend & Dietitian today who got to see that bubby was a bit floppy. This is typical of seizure activity for him. So... we made a visit to Nuero before leaving Riley and had to make a call tonight because the activity was continuing so strong. Hopefully with the med adjustment they made... we'll get to stay home and level out here soon! Well, all sleep well and sweet dreams! I'm laying in Abby's room who was awakened by an asthma attack again. Poor girl! Hopefully she and I will both be back to sweet dreams again soon.

Let's pretend it is Monday...

I don't often say that... but I forget to give you my Monday update! =) I lost a pound! Wahoo!!! So, my total now is five. =) OK, now we can go back to Tuesday! Happy Tuesday every one!
