Cheyanne is 8 - Time for sports

Hello Everyone-

Its been a while since our last post- Our whole family moved from Bellevue Nebraksa to Lancaster CA! It was a huge transition, expecially for Cheyanne, but she did good!

Now that we have settled down a bit and now everyone is in school- our next goal is to get Chey into some kind of sports program.

Cheyanne has been doing so well, but her little sister has already passed her up in some aspects , so we want to put Cheyanne in a program where she is the best!

As I look around the web, I came across some awesome sites for sports for special needs and I will post them.

Its Summer time!

Cheyanne is now 7 years old! How time flies! And now after everything she has been through all she needs to take is trileptol for her seizures that are now under control.

She is now in to more crafts and singing and such and she wants to keep busy so we are actually looking into sending her to camp this year.

Here are a list of free camps for special needs that I saw that maybe you can benefit from also:

She Growing So Independent!

I can remember the last time that Cheyanne wanted help with something. She is now 7 years old and she is in the 2nd grade. She has grown up before my very eyes and her new haircut has opened our eyes to a brand new girl.

cheyanne needed a hair cut because she was not capable of combing her hair by herself and she did not liked to be helped. So we took her to get her hair cut and now she can comb her hair with ease everymorning.

She still has that anxiety that causes her to bite her right hand and produce terrible callouses, but at school they are giving her a chewy bracelet and necklace so she can chew on that.

She still has absent seizures when she is extremely tired, but her medication and kept the awful ones at bay.

She can ride a bike now which is amazing to us. She is growing up so much.
