So glad you got a good report too, Bob! ! !
And to think I was annoyed at the $6 parking! (When we first started going there, the docs offices could validate the parking ticket, so it was free......not so anymore). I'll keep your discount $21 parking in mind the next time we go to Columbus.
Thanks, Jackie! Remember, you helped with the research! I've said it many times.........the threat of total blindness for Emily was more devastating to me than Down syndrome. I'm very thankful for all the prayers for Emily!

Emily and I went to Columbus OH to see her eye specialist yesterday. It was a lonnnnnnnnnng appointment; over 2 full hours with the doctor right there with us the whole time. That's impressive to me........how often does a doctor give any patient that much of her day?? Emily's eyes are continuing to improve with every test they did! Her visual acuity has improved, her peripheral vision is getting larger and moving toward the center more.........oh, if she could get that central vision back! ! ! They did an ultrasound of her optic nerve, and it is less swollen and not as "frayed". Great news all the way around! !
Thanks to all of you for your prayers for her. We're feeling very blessed!

Wish I could help.......so much easier with girls, because we can get ladies capri's and they work really well most times. Have never seen capris for guys!

I've really been working with Emily on being more polite. When she was little, she was so good about always saying "please" and "thank you". Not so much anymore!! I've really started noticing it lately, and decided it wasn't going to get better if I didn't just make the time to work on it. So, I've really been trying to strongly encourage her to at least say "please" consistently. (Well........to say it at all!!)
Tonight, we were driving and she asked me to turn the radio on in the van. But, she basically said "Radio on, Mom". I replied "Emily, you need to say please". I looked in the rear view mirror and caught her rolling her eyes, so I emphasized that the radio would only be turned on when she asked me politely, using the word PLEASE. She sat quietly for a few minutes. Then she says with a huff "P-L-E-A-S-E"! (Spelled it!!) I smiled at her and told her that wouldn't work. Then she asked if I had a pen. I decided she had given up any hope of getting to listen to the radio, and I handed her the pen. Next thing I knew, she handed a note to me that said " PLEASE the radio Mom"!!!
The girl has a stubborn streak a mile long! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Great video! ! ! I love your family...........what a fun bunch!! I'm guessing a lot more people will stop using the "R" word, after watching it. But hey.........I have always felt that if just ONE person learns why it's not acceptable, then they'll teach just one more. On and on.
Good job!!

Lots of tornadoes in my area over the last day or so with plenty of destruction. Thankfully, very few lives lost! I have to say I'm very proud of the people I work with.......a nursing facility with 175 patients. There is a LOT to do when tornado warnings begin, so that we can make everyone as safe as possible. It was a busy day!

One of my best memories of Uno Mas was the years when we would meet on regularly scheduled evenings and chat. As much as I love reading the various posts here, I always loved the chats even more..............so much fun!! We would talk about anything and everything from IEP's to ......well, everything! ! I can remember sitting here at my computer and laughing so hard!! The chat feature has been disabled for a long time. But, last night, Laurasnowbird organized a group chat of Uno Mas members on Facebook and we chatted for over an hour...........it was a blast! For anyone who has Facebook (And for those who don't, this would be a great time to open a FB account so we can chat with you!!), please let me know so we can add you to the Uno Mas FB chat group.
