Hi everyone!

Sorry for the delay in getting this new site up and running. I guess I just have to come to terms with the fact that I don't have the time to sit and learn how to make the kind of site that I'd really like to.


Here's what's been going on...


  • We are switching insurance in Jan. from an HMO to a PPO because we have been getting denials for what we consider to be crucial appointments. We already have an appointment reserved (but not "scheduled" since they cannot schedule it until after our insurance switches) at the motility clinic at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

  • Jackson has been getting PT, OT, and Speech at Loyola Medical Center. In PT and OT he has been trying E-stim. We were told that we had been approved by our insurance for a home unit, but someone somewhere got it wrong. There is still a small chance that we will be approved, but most likely we will have to wait until the vaccine settlement comes through.

  • Jackson is doing well in school. He is working in the computer lab with switch accessible software. He is also working on communication using Boardmaker images to express himself. He seems to enjoy it and the teachers and therapists there think he is wonderful.
  • We got a puppy! His name is Dizzy and he is a super-cute poodle/shih-tzu mix. He is a little hyper which is to be expected in a pup but he is mellowing a tiny bit.

Here are a couple Halloween pics for you.
