Christmas in Pictures

1 down 3 to go

Mason's first appointment was more of interview I felt like for Brent and I. They asked a million questions. They did a physical exam on Mason. He is 85 percentile for height 92 for weight and off the charts for his head. (get's that from his daddy) We are thinking linebacker or maybe a fullback. So next week will be all about Mason. We will meet with the Developmental pediatrician again (who we loved by the way) speech pathologist and a psychological pediatrician. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

Clinical Trial Appointment

Mason has his first appointment with the developmental pediatrician tomorrow morning. I am nervous and anxious. The is the 1st day of his clinical trial. It will be a three week trial. He will see several different specialist over the next three weeks. So hopefully after that we will have even more answers and a plan of action for Mason. I will keep everyone updated!

Disney Take 2

Wednesday Emily Linda and I went to eat lunch with the princesses. Emily was in her glory. She got to wear her Cinderella dress and meet all her favorite pincesses.







After the princess lunch we went home and got the boys and headed back to the Magic Kingdom! We got to see the electrical parade and see everything with the lights. It was "magical" as Emily said :) We also got to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride and meet Buzz! Mason was a very happy little boy!






Thursday we went to MGM and that was our favorite park with the kids!









Thursday was not a very good day for me! We went to Animal Kingdom and as soon as we got there I pulled out my camera to take a picture and dropped and broke my camera! So I have no picture for the last 2 days of our vacation. This was by far my favorite vacation I have ever been on. Watching the kids enjoy every second was so amazing! I can't wait to take them again in a couple of years. We are so thankful to Brent's awesome parents for taking us on this vacation. We love them so much and were very happy they could experience this with us!

DISNEY WORLD

We just got home from our family trip to Disney World! We had such an amazing time. We left Sunday the 12th! The kids were so excited because a big car (a limo) came to pick us up! We were getting hit with snow pretty hard so the limo driver was a little late and the Kids were a little nervous.


The limo did arrive and we were off to the airport. The kids loved the limo drive. We got to the airport in plenty of time. We did notice outside that the snow was really picking up. After several annoncements we ended up being delayed for 4 hours. Then once we got on the plane we had to wait another hour so the plane could be de-iced. The kids did great on the plane. Mason was a little overloaded with his senses but was a trooper. We finally made it safely to Orlando around 8:30pm.





We rented a house and it was awesome! Perfect in everyway. Mason did so much better adapting to the settings then he has in a hotel rooms. Monday we decided to head to the Magic Kingdom even though it was really cold. We didn't care. We walked around looking and Emily got to meet the princesses!








Day 2 was pretty cold too so we decided to go to the outlet malls. Tuesday night we went to Chef Mickey's. By far my favorite thing we did at Disney! The kids and even the adults had such a great time. The kids got to meet Mickey and all his pals!





I think I will break the trip up in a couple of posts. So more to come :)

Disney Emily-ism's

I tried to remember all the Emily-ism's from Disney. I love her age because you never know what she is going to say. :)

"Look for signs that say Kissimmee everyone..." Em "Hey everyone do you see the kissey signs yet!"

Pulling up to the magice Kingdom "It's real I can't believe it is actually real!"

Drinking her hot chocolate "Emily can I have a drink?" Em "Just one and that is it and I mean it!"

"We are going to MG cheese today!" (She meant MGM)

In line for the Buzzlightyear ride "This is so magical!"

New Docotors & Appointments

I got a call this morning from Rainbow Babies Hospital telling us after receiving Mason's paper work they would like to see him sooner. His appointment will be January 4th. At first they told me it wouldn't be until June of 2011 that they could get him into the developmental pediatrician. I was not very happy about that! Well the nurse said in January they are opening a new clinic, an autism clinic!?!? When she said that I was like "umm excuse me an Autism clinic?" She said after reviewing his paper work and notes from the other doctors they have reason to believe that he may have Apraxia as well as Autism. I was NOT expecting that at all! So of course I was pretty emotional to say the least. He will see a variety of doctors over a 3 week period and go through different testing. After that we will have a parents meeting to discuss the results and get a plan together for his treatment. So once again I am asking for prayers for Mason as well as the doctors that will be seeing him.

On a different note we are getting very excited about our trip to Disney!!! We leave Sunday and will be home the following Sunday. Lot's of pictures and post about our trip!
