Not much to report

I know I haven't posted in forever....there just isn't a whole lot going on. I mean, there's a LOT going on, between work, school, trying to squeeze in physical therapy appointments, so we're pretty busy. Seth's doing great. No appointments in the next month or so. He is going to the MDA clinic in January, but that's basically just seeing Dr. Chadehumbe for the same stuff we see her for in the office. I think the main reason to go there is to establish us and then we will be eligible for services if/when we need them. He does have to get blood work before that, mainly to check his vitamin D levels and things like that. He also has an opthalmology appointment in January-just a baseline, because his meds can cause cataracts, so it's basically just another get established appointment. Also still waiting on a pulmonary appointment for the same thing (but don't even get me started on their scheduling process. Ugh!)

We did get Seth started back up with aqua therapy-he loves that. The lady that does it, Chris, is really good with him, so I'm glad we could arrange that. Work has been really awesome with flexibility so I'll be able to take him more often. He started with a new physical therapist, too-this one is in Zeeland, so it's a bit easier to get him from school and to the appointments. And this guy hasn't let him fall and have to get head staples yet, so so far so good. ;)

Another thing we've been busy with is church-I'm going through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)-basically it's the process to become Catholic. And quite a process it is-every Tuesday night for two hours for 8 or so months...but I really have been enjoying it. Seth has been doing "faith formation" (I guess that's what they're calling catechism these days?), too, so he'll be able to take first communion this spring, and both kids are getting baptized on January 9.

Anyway, that's about it in a nutshell. I really will try to post more, I promise!
