Catch-up Update

No news from our homefront is usually good news. Jojo is keeping himself busy playing on the computer or watching Noggin. He started school last week, but only his special ed teacher came. Everyone else will start easing into his schedule in the coming weeks. It's a bit frustrating that we haven't heard anything about the communication device or the on-screen keyboard for which Jojo was evaluated for almost six months ago. Hopefully, with the start of the school year, the ball will start rolling faster on these things.
SMA-wise, we share every one's concern (fear?) about the swine flu, etc. It's only August and people are already getting sick because of sinus allergies/infection, RSV!, and even the swine flu (there were cases reported about an hour or two away from us). We're definitely getting the regular flu shots; Jojo's pediatrician's office will start giving the shots on September 1st. We're not so sure about the swine flu vaccine if only because of its questionable safety. We're praying for guidance.
Other than that, we are just enjoying our Jojo, even his being too chatty at times so close to bedtime, or when we are on the phone, or when grown-ups are trying to have a conversation :0)

  1. Oh Jojo we have missed seeing your handsome face. Glad things are going well.
    That is one big watermelon.

    Maria we are dealing with the same equipment school issues with Junior. The district seems to think that with the home instruction kids they can wait and wait to get stuff ordered.
    Good luck.
    Where did you find a wheel chair for his stuffed animal, that is so cool.
    Have a great week. Hugs

I hope the school issues clear, and it turns out well. Im so glad you updated, its always nice to see pictures of Jojo and hear about what you all have been doing, many Hugs Sheila and Sky
