Abigail Smiles

Hi Everyone-
Just wanted to thank you all for your continued support and prayers for our precious Abigail. She is doing great!! After consistently fighting the system to get what Abigail needs she has been reapproved for the Deeming Waiver. Praise the LORD!!
Abigail will be starting school at the Kings Academy in Woodstock repeating K. We pray that this will be good for her. They have smaller class sizes and we will be working at home a few days a week so she will be getting a lot more one on one attention.
Please continue to keep our little pnut in your prayers!! Thanks again.

Well we lost our hearing for Abigail based on the amount of therapy she had when she was 3. Apparently the state does not think that 4 therapies PER week is very aggressive. The good news is --- is that we can reapply on how she is doing now-- Currently Abigail has 5 therpies per week and this seems to be the magic number for approvals. Abigail has an IEP currently through Sixes Elementary school.
Abigail still has the leg length discrepancy of about 1/2 - 3/4 inch ( her left side being shorter). Abigail just finished wearing a series of casting on her left leg in order to stretch her foot so it would touch the ground flat--but with the leg length difference it has become hard for her to walk and she is limping. We will be going to see the orthopedic soon in order to have a lift put on her shoes to balance her out. She wore the cast on her left leg 24 days. She is such a trooper and NO complaining! We are still having to use the cast as a night splint in order to maintain her stretch until the orthotis can figure out what is going on with her AFO she wears on her left leg-it is still hurting her. They may just have to make a new one!
Through it all our little pnut smiles and is so cheerful - we are thankful to have her in our lives. I will keep everyone posted on her leg progress - PLEASE pray that GOD will grow her left leg to catch up with the right! Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see -- Hebrews 11:1

Hello everyone- We had Abigails Deeming waiver hearing this past Friday (Nov.14). The judge told us she would make a decision within 30days... Please keep this in your prayers that the judge will make the right decision and Abigails Deeming Waiver will be continued in order for us to attend her 5 therapies a week. Without this deeming waiver her medical/therapy expenses would be 600+ per week! I know GOD is in control and he has taken care of our precious Abigail and her needs since birth and he will provide Abigail with what she needs! Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Finally....I am able to upload pics to Abigails site. My brother was able to help me figure it out! Here are some pics of The 2nd Annual bike ride! We will be having another benefit ride in the spring of 2009...sometime in May since that is the month the Lord blessed us with our little pnut!! Thank you so much for all your support and thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Amanda (Abigails mom)

Hi Everyone...Abigail started Kindergarten this year and we can not believe it!! She is in her 4th week of school and she loves it!! She really loves riding the bus in the mornings! I put her on there the 2nd day of school because she really wanted to ride the bus! I came in the house and cried like a baby! :-) School starts at 7:45 in the morning so this is a big adjustment for Abigail since she has always been such a great sleeper and usually will not roll out of bed till about 9 or 10!!
Please continue to keep Abigail in your prayers!
Abigails mommy,
Amanda :-)
