WOW I have not done a very good job keeping up with this blog!! I will try to do better!!
Really not too much major going on.
We have not had any trips to Denver this summer. Needed to take a break!!
I had a hysterectomy July 2nd,,all went well,,healed well,,getting back to life now!!! Thank God for my family!! Jeff, Nana, Aimee, and Lauren were incredible helpers!! I never could have gotten through it without them!!
Celia did amazingly well with my absence and with my inability to care for her. It took a week or so but she caught on quickly!!
Celia's physical issues continue. However her cognitive skills continue to grow and amaze us all!!! We start back to Denver in Sept. for more tests and Dr.'s. Until then, we are just enjoying staying put!!!

Gretchen it sounds like a busy summer. I'm glad things went well and you made it through. Can't wait to hear more about what Celia's doing.

Glad to see some updates regarding Celia, and also the brand new colors on the blog>>^^

Just a quick message to wish you all the best and to keep faith, medical, spiritual, whatever..life is short so better live it to the full...
ps>Celia's story is very inspiring so hope you don't mind if I linked it on to the Forum 'Les Enfants Dandy Walker', a Forum to raise awareness and to help to get better supports in Europe where not much is done yet.
Feel free to drop a line anytime you like, it is free and personal views are always welcome. The Forum is supported in French and in English.

Take Care
