A proud Mama...

This past weekend Grace competed in a tournament in Pennsylvania. She did an outstanding job! We are all so very proud of her, not just for how well she did, but for how much effort she put into doing her very very best. Way to go kiddo!!!

We sadly had to put our beloved fur baby to sleep this week. Belle was an angel with fur, but was beginning to suffer from the effects of old age. It was getting to the point that it was the best choice to let her go into our heavenly fathers arms. I'm sure she'll keep the welcome mat of heaven toasty warm until we get there to meet her again.


And we spoke with the Genetic advisor today... a whole lot of nothing to tell. Chars lab work was askew again, but we still don't know why. The good news is that the metabolic errors they tested for were all negative. Her methylmelonic acid however, is still too high. The first lab showed her at 58, and this last test had her at 429. Obviously not such a great number as the normal is under 6 for her age group. We are still waiting on the chromosome testing to come back. We see neuro for another CT scan and an EEG in a few weeks. Until then we wait.

Longest week ever!

This week is dragging.... I need some answers with my baby girl. Its really weighing heavy on Rob and I both. We can see there is something going on just by looking at her, she has no muscle tone, in addition to other things. She is ours, we love her no matter what, but something isn't right. We put a "full size spare" on her head to make her giggle...well, she didn't, but we did!
