J O S E P H I N E

Madalyn made the J and the I.  Grandma made the O.  Aunt Nikki made the S.  Maddie Claire made the E.  Vivian made the E.  Vivian's mom made the N.  Maddie Claire's mom made the H.  And it spells
 J O S E P H I N E!

I went to pick it up at the Mosaic place and I didn't have the heart to take it from their wall.  Besides, now everyone that goes to the store will see that we are WAITING for Josephine:)  I will pick it up before we leave...and hang it in her bedroom.  Our 10 month project to endure the wait it complete!!!!

Thank you, Dr. Parker!

This is Dr. Parker, Madalyn's neurologist.  Six years ago, Dr. Denney made the wise choice to refer us to her after noting "spasticity".  She was the person to tell me about Madalyn's stroke, risk of seizures, etc., as well as to tell me how great our precious Madalyn was doing at just 9 months of age!  Dr. Parker is also the special person that reviewed Josephine's file and gave me the confidence that with our doctors, therapists, family, and friends....we are more than ready to take care of our Jospehine!   Madalyn had a follow-up visit with Dr. Parker last week since she started medicine for seizures and all is well.... and the next time we see Dr. Parker, we will be bringing BOTH girls! :)
