11-26-10

Here is Quinn taking a nap, listening to her headphones. I love technology, and am already getting Quinn hooked on it too. She loves music and does such a great job staying relaxed when she listens to it. She loves toddler music, meditation types of music, classical, blues, and lately she has been loving holiday songs.


Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting.

What a great quote, and our little family is trying our best to follow through on that. Especially now, with it being Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for, and with being thankful, we also want to do just as good of a job sharing our love and talents with others. I’m looking forward to continue to pay it forward with all the love and caring folks who are involved in sharing their love, and talents with us.

Another thing I’m thankful for is snot! Yes, that is what I said. Wednesday we went to see Quinn’s ENT, and he said Quinn was looking great. I mentioned how I only had to use the catheter once over the weekend. We use catheter's to put down her trach and suck up the snot. Otherwise, with her cold, she was coughing up all the snot on her own, and Dr. Sewell, sat back and giggled. Quinn blew him away, because she is strong and doing great with her cough. She still is full of snot, and did not make it to school because of all the snot, but she is sure doing great at coughing it out! So I’ll be grateful for that strong cough, and Benadryl.

I’m hoping that she can start back to school on Monday, as every day she has gotten stronger, but she still has a good cough and is taking long naps, but we are getting there. So I’m also thankful for these couple days I have had where I can hang out with Quinn and love her up!

So Happy Thanksgiving and thanks so much to all of you for reading and sharing in our lives!


Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.
