You know it's bad when.....

you drive up to the Walgreens window and they say, "Hi Mrs. Falcone." uggh The boys each have three prescriptions so we are always there, but still.....

I also realized something bad about the possible treatment for the boys. I'm not as concerned about weight issues and development issues. Every time I feel the need to push them, I remember that they are going to get medication that is going to resolve some of those issues!! Call me crazy but it's becoming ingrained in my head that this is going to be successful. Speaking of development. Nathan had a three month re-evaluation at Theraplay and he made little progress towards his goals. The PT said that she thinks we have to drop the goal of having him sit criss-cross applesauce (formerly known as indian style but no longer PC) because it may not be something he will be able to accomplish. I don't like the sound of that!! I hope it is not a response to the diagnosis. We weren't sure if he could walk either, but not knowing that it was a skin issue his therapists worked and worked with him and look at him now! Mark had the same reaction when I told him. I know we need to work harder with him too. It's just that we are always in such a rush and it is easier to pick him up, take his plate to the sink for him...or.....ask Libby to help him. Yes, I must admit I ask Libby for help too often and I have been working on not asking her as frequently.

We are starting to make plans for a visit to Texas. Libby is sooo excited. I think I told her too early. The woman's name with whom I have been corresponding in Texas is Claudia and she is very nice and helpful. I explained that we would love to bring Libby so we can make it a family trip and she said we will have alot of down time and should definitely bring her. This will be a pretty expensive trip with the airfare; however, we should be able to use some points for about half of the costs. We have never used them, ever so it seems as if we were unknowingly saving them for this trip! Now when we have to go back we may be staying in a youth hostile but for now we are doing it right. We are still trying to squeeze in a beach trip too because we didn't go last year. For some reason it seems like the kids deserve a trip to see some sand and the ocean even with an airplane ride to Texas. Or perhaps Nathan just deserves a needle free vacation.
