I can't believe I have been so lax since September. Lane has lots of news for everyone! I'll start with the fact that Lane is three now! I cannot believe my baby is three, where did the time go? Lane started preschool this spring and after a couple weeks he really loved it! He loved interacting with the other kids and I saw some major changes in the short time that he went. Developmentally Lane is kicking some major spina bifida but! Lane currently is excelling in speech. Yep you read that right our little man who couldn't make any noise until after he turned two has in one year far surpassed children his age in the language department. He talks like a little adult and tested at a six year old level in his language skills this spring. Lane was lagging behind cognitively during his preschool assessment but has taken some major strides this summer and is now making gains and ahead of kids his age in this area. We are currently counting to 11 perfectly and working on to twenty with some reminders every now and then. He knows his ABC's and loves to "write" holding a pencil correctly already! There is so much more he does but these were some major things we were working on! Mobility wise Lane is rocking! Seriously! We have crutches ordered and our therapist thinks it will be a matter of weeks before Lane is walking with his crutches. Lane walks well with his walker although he is a little pokey in public due to the fact he has to talk to EVERYONE he passes! He is really close to walking holding on to one hand instead of two as well! Now for the big one....Lane has recently started standing completely unassisted!!! We are beyond thrilled with this and he stands for longer periods of time every day! He is super excited about this new trick as well and shows everyone thats around! <br />
<br />
Lane is enjoying his summer playing outside and getting dirty. He started riding horses with daddy and by himself (with daddy assisting) this spring and absolutely loves it. He is really into planes, animals, and guns(hunting) right now. Lane loves to help work on trucks with his daddy and uncles too! <br />
<br />
Mommy and Daddy are doing well too! The best part of this summer has been a big one. Lane's now a big brother! We welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby girl into our family on July 9th and Lane is a great big brother! Emily Grace arrived weighing in at 7lbs 9oz and 20in long, a great deal bigger than her big brother was! We are all doing great and I will attempt to update this more often! Now for some pictures! <br />

This is going to be a short update full of BIG news for everyone! I will start at May when Lane had his trach decannulation. Yes you read that right we are trach free! Six weeks later his g-tube followed so we now have NO tubes left! Lane's braces changed this spring and we went to a brace on the front of his leg as opposed to his old bracing on the back which helps him stand much better. <br />
<br />
Lane's speech has exploded since decannulation and he actually has already started and graduated out of speech therapy. He is repeating EVERYTHING we say and has gotten to be quite a bossy little thing! <br />
<br />
Lane is walking really well with his new walker! Yep we have a new walker too! Pictures to follow!<br />
<br />
Other than that Lane is growing and is so smart. He is counting to three, naming all his body parts, and we are working on colors. The nurse practioner at clinic last week actually said he was the smartest two year old she has seen in a really long time! <br />
<br />
As for mommy and daddy we are great! I ran my half marathon in louisville kentucky for Team Spina Bifida and it was wonderful! I also graduated and passed state board for my RN and love my new job! Daddy is doing great too! <br />

Lane is doing awesome! He is now walking with a walker for fairly decent distances! Our little guy is starting to talk with and without his speaking valve. He is saying about 10 words regularly and most frequently we are hearing go and out. He LOVES being outside this year. This little guy is already sporting a slight farmers tan! He has been fishing a few times and is facinated with that too. We have been blessed with an awesome winter and Lane has been pretty healthy overall. We should be getting this trach out at the end of the month!!!!! We just heard yesterday and it is music to my ears! I am on cloud nine. This month is going to be busy but I am hoping that by May I will be able to devote a little more time to this blog! I apologize to my followers but hold out guys just one more month and I will get better!ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-19872561108971753132011-12-19T14:39:00.000-08:002011-12-19T14:39:03.475-08:00Christmas Break Update!It's been forever, I know! I am just going to send out a HUGE apology to all of you for such a big gap in blogging! Life has been a little crazy, in a good way, lately and unfortunately the blog has taken the back burner. I finally finished this last semester of nursing school so only one more semester left for me! I started a part time job also this last month or so. Just in case school, work, and being a mommy and wife wasn't keeping me busy I signed up for a half marathon! Why I decided I could run 13.1 miles I am really not certain, but I am going to in April! I am super excited to say I will be running for Team Spina Bifida at the Kentucky Derby marathon in April!!! I have started training for this race and am determined to run this for my little man. He is the true motivator behind this. Every mile I run, every step I take is for him. For the days when standing one more minute kills him, but he does it anyway. For when he wants to walk so bad and it is so hard, but he tries his best and does it. It's all about him, because every mile I can run has no comparison to the mountains he climbs every day.<br />
<br />
Daddy is also on the move to fitness! He is working hard to shred some pounds and get in shape so I have to say how very proud I am of the progress he has made (though he refuses to run a half marathon)!<br />
<br />
Now for the one you really want to hear about. Lane is awesome! He has progressed so much so fast lately. He started pulling up about a month or two ago and quickly started crawling on his hands and knees. He is now about 50/50 on army crawling and four point crawling. The biggest news (if you didn't catch it earlier) is Lane is taking steps with his walker!!!! With a little supervision and occasional support he can walk across my living room, which is really big. Without any help he is going about 6ft! This is absolutely amazing and I get so excited EVERY time! My little guy never fails to surprise me. Lane is also into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Nothing is safe now and it seems I can't baby proof enough, but I love it! He is starting to sign and talk a little. I am still hopeful this trach will be out before summer so he will be talking soon, but we are starting sign language just in case. He is picking it up fast and seems to like the extra ability to communicate. We also added on occupational therapy to work with his feeding skills as he chokes quite a bit. So far Lane is not too happy about it so progress is really slow. I have faith in our new OT and I am praying that he will be more accepting of her soon! We are headed to spina bifida clinic tomorrow so hopefully since I am on break I can get that update in here! Here are a few pics to hold you over until I get my camera uploaded, hopefully with the tomorrow post?! Merry Christmas!<br />

Latest endeavor....climbing!<br />
<br />
more to come....ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-30254588760143888622011-10-06T20:04:00.000-07:002011-10-06T20:04:42.552-07:00MountainsOctober is Spina Bifida Awareness month. I'm going to kick off my month with a post about the one question people never want to ask. "What is it like?"<br />
<br />
There is not any explanation I can give to make someone understand the emotional aspect of being a special needs parent. No words relay the exact balance of all the emotions felt. Here is my best shot at an answer.<br />
<br />
When a woman becomes pregnant she is walking down this lovely road. The road is flat: a nice, easy, relaxing walk. You look at the flowers and just enjoy the pleasantness of the road your traveling down. <br />
<br />
Then one day you find out that your not suppose to be on that road. You find out there is a special road for you and you must get off of this level, easy road. It's hard to leave. Everyone you know is walking down that road and loving it and you just know this other road is horrible, but you have no choice so you go.<br />
<br />
And then your there. Standing at the beginning of that road. You feel alone, scared, and know that there is no way you are going to make it down that road. You want to go back to that first road with your friends and family. The road is long. This road you are staring down isn't a bumpy road. It isn't even full of hills. No, this road is in the mountains. It is full of lots and lots of mountains. <br />
<br />
You haven't trained for mountains. You have never climbed a mountain and you know it isn't easy. Climbing mountains takes sweat, tears, and a lot of strength. You could fall, you most likely will. This is horrible. You know it is the worst thing that has ever happened and you don't understand why God would do this to you. <br />
<br />
You walk the begginning of this road and though simple, you are still very upset by just being stuck here. Then you arrive at the mountains. They are tall, and rocky but forward is the only direction you can go. It's hard climbing those first few mountains. You fall down, you cry, and want to just scream. But you get up. You keep going. And you make it to the top of the first mountain, then the second, and all the rest after that. The climbing gets easier as you go and soon you can climb mountains with ease. The tallest mountain in the world doesn't even make you blink. <br />
<br />
While on this road you realize that maybe it's not so bad. You discover other people on this mountainous road. Good people who help you. They take your hand when you fall. They tell you all the shortcuts. They rejoice with you as you make it to the top. You realize that the journey your on is not at all about the climb, it's about getting to the top. When you do make it to the top of those mountains you feel happier than you have ever felt. Each mountain gets better. The climb is easier and success is more overpowering. <br />
<br />
It's a simple realization. The first road was simple. Everyone was on it. But don't mountains have the best scenery?<br />

O I have been so bad on my blogging! I am super busy with my FINAL year of nursing school and Lane has been busy himself. He is making leaps and bounds. First, I cannot keep track of this kid! He is crawling EVERYWHERE and is into EVERYTHING. Nothing stops this little boy and that is a miracle. We are working on pulling up and cruising and he is so very close! I am going to try to upload some videos next time. We recieved our walker this month and lane is standing at it but we are not walking yet but that is coming soon I'm sure. <br />
<br />
Medically speaking Lane is as healthy as a horse right now. Feeding is going great and we are not using the g tube at all. We are not decannulating this fall as planned but are going to give Lane a little more time and try for this winter. <br />
<br />
Be looking for an upcoming post about Spina Bifida Awareness. October is spina bifida awareness month so more to come!<br />

On Thursday Lane had tonsil and adnoid removal with his upper lip clipped. The surgery went well and he came home that day. His secretions increased singnificantly and by monday we felt we needed to have him seen. We have been admitted to the hospital for a few days to figure and what is going on and attempt to beat pneumonia before it gets here. Hopefully we will be home soon with no issues.

Lane is doing absolutely amazing! I last posted that he was going to be on the move soon and he is! The little man is into everything these days! He is a professional army crawler now and is trying to get on all fours! We are bracing next month hopefully so he should be up on those little feet soon! He is gaining weight well without the tube which is a very good sign. I am hopeful we can remove it very soon. He is on a developmental fast track and is catching up quickly! Just this week he has learned to stack blocks and do puzzles! He is turning into a little tornado and I am loving every single minute and I honestly rejoice in cleaning up every mess he is making!<br />
<br />
August is a very busy month for us and I am going to TRY to keep you all updated as much as I can. We are headed to clinic at the beginning of the month so we will be seeing ALL of Lanes doctors and making a new game plan for him. He has surgery soon after to remove his tonsils and adenoids. I am dreading this surgery but it is one step closer to getting rid of this trach.We are still looking at October for the decannulation. <br />
<br />
For now I am just going to add some pictures with this update and start on a blog post I have been pondering for a while. Hope you are all having a great summer!<br />

First of all Lane did not decannulate May 10th as planned. When he had his bronch on April 15 they saw that his airway was still pretty floppy and collapsing in on itself. We are hoping to decanulate in October now. If the trach is not out by October we will be waiting till spring unfortunately to try again. <br />
<br />
Lane is doing AMAZING! Since starting therapy I can see such a big difference in his strength. He stands up straighter now and does not depend on the table nearly as much as he did. He sits like a champ. He is learning well how to transition from sitting to laying and the other way around. He is starting to pull himself on his belly (aka army crawling)! I think our baby will be on the move VERY soon! He is getting braces in July so hopefully he will be walking by this fall. Our therapist is doing really great at teaching me how to work with him so we are making progress. <br />
<br />
Lane loves to be outside now that we have tackled his allergy problems. He is a grass picker lol! He takes after us on his love of the outdoors. <br />
<br />
Well this is a short update but that is a good thing in our life! Some recent pics of course too! <br />

I learned a lot of my own parenting skills from you. You taught me so many things about being a mom. I never really get the chance to thank you for those things. Thank you for always putting your wants last. Thank you for sacrificing something you needed for something I wanted. Thank you for always protecting me from things I did not know were threatening. For always pushing me into God. For making me come home at an early time. Thank you for never accepting a B on a grade card. You knew I could always make A's. You instilled the values of love and strength in me. You showed me how to be strong and that has helped me so much in being a mother to Lane. Thanks for dropping everything your doing to come over so I can have a break and leaving work regardless of the punishment to meet me at the er with Lane.Thanks for always listening to me as I vent to you. Thank you for your encouragement. I am sorry for all the times I hurt your feelings growing up. I never really thought about what I was doing or saying. I grew up fast, I am sorry now. As a mother I know I don't want Lane to grow up and I was always in such a hurry. I want you to know I love you and appreciate all you do. You were there when I had Lane even though that meant leaving my brother three hours away for awhile. Thank you for staying and comforting me while Lane was at another hospital with his dad. I really needed you at that moment. I could spend all night listing all I am thankful for. I guess I really just need to thank God for giving me you as a mom. I hope you had a good day today. Happy Mother's Day. Remember I will always love you Mom.<br />
<br />
Thanks Mom,<br />

We finally made it home from the hospital and got over the pneumonia. Sorry it took so long to update you. I have been finishing up this year of nursing school and am glad to say that I am done for the summer. Hopefully I can get some more blogging done now! Lane started pulling up a few weeks ago. He has a little table that he pulls up and stands there to play with. It is such a miracle watching him stand. He has been playing catch up developmentally lately. In the last few weeks he has learned to wave, clap, play peek a boo, and laugh when you tell him no. He is just blossoming everyday as he learns new things. Well this is short as my brain is working to fast to keep up. Hope it made since. I will get to a better update soon!<br />
<br />
Mothers Day- This mothers day is extra special to me. At one time in the darkest of days after lane's birth, Drs were telling me I would spend this Mothers Day childless. It amazes me that they were so very wrong, even though they were convinced they were so right. As it is I have had a wonderful day with a beautiful baby boy that happens to be the best gift ever!<br />
<br />
I would also like to say that I have had many people message me about how great a mother I am! Thank you but I truly an just an ordinary mother. I may have a busier day than some and do stuff most people would have nightmares about but us special needs mothers are just like all moms. We get tired, we have breakdowns, we need breaks, we have moments where everyone drives us crazy! Sometimes on the outside we seem strong, but inside we are crumbling. We love our kids and cherish every moment with them Just like all of you! <br />
<br />
So I ask you all one thing, enjoy your kids and be thankful for them not only today but each and every day! Happy Mother's Day to you all.<br />
<br />
Here is a pic of Lane standing. I am just holding his ankles to keep them from rolling since he doesn't have braces yet!<br />

Not the update I wanted to give you all but we are back in the hospital. Lane started having a lot of secretions a couple days ago that led to a fever and a cough. We decided to bring him to er last night and he has pneumonia so here we are admitted to the hospital for a few days. The nurse came in and said that he has some bacteria in his blood so we are waiting to see what comes of that. Please keep Lane in your prayers for a quick recovery!ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-59538368084955863662011-04-14T08:44:00.000-07:002011-04-14T08:44:25.165-07:001 year old...Lane turned one yesterday. It is so hard for me to believe a whole year has passed. This year has been filled with extreme hardships and sorrow but also with joy, success, tons of love, happy tears, and the great enjoyment of our precious little boy. Looking back I never could have imagined how amazing Lane would be. We started his life with hard news. Drs saying he would not live past six months, had severe brain damage, and other abnormalities was hard to swallow those first few days. Turns out we didn't need to "swallow" any of it. I wish those drs could have seen him yesterday. Laughing, opening his presents, and eating his yummy cup cake. Life is amazing with Lane it. God granted Roger and I with a gift far beyond our imagination. He gave us Lane knowing how special he would be. Last night I rocked my baby boy to sleep. A year ago I longed to hold him and thinking of how much a miracle he is brought tears to my eyes. Lord I'm sending up a special thanks to You for choosing me and Roger to be Lane's parents. Every child is special, but I think we got an extra special one. ;) Now for some pictures of course. Lane's party is this weekend so I will give some pictures then too! I can't believe my baby is 1!!!!! <br />
P.S. Thank you all for your support of our family for a year!<br />

Being a doctor or lawyer and marrying my prince charming in a huge ceremony. We would buy a huge house and have adorable little kids running around. Life would be perfect, just like in the movies. Rich and successful, what everyone wanted! It was a fairy tale I, and every other little girl, kept with me for a long time. My fairy tale didn't include anything short of perfect. Hey, it was my dream.<br />
<br />
My fairy tale did not make room for lifes ups and downs. It would be the way I thought in my mind it should be and nothing else was an option.<br />
<br />
My fairty tale did not visualize marrying my high school sweetheart before finishing college, having a baby at nineteen (let alone a special needs baby), struggling financially at times, or having any other hardship. <br />
<br />
Fairy tales are about: <br />
<br />

Lane's having a lot of problems breathing now. He is breathing extremley fast..sometimes hitting seventy breaths a minute and has had some issues with desating which is where the oxygen in his body is getting too low. It seems so crazy that now, of all times, he is having breathing problems. He has never had oxygen issues and it would have made more sense when he had the trach put in or when he was born than it does now. I have not gotten an answer yet on what is causing this. Hopefully they can turn this around quick so we can just go home. It is so hard to be here sometimes. It just gets depressing being held hostage in this place. <br />
<br />
I also realize I never really followed up with what got us here to begin with. After being discharged on Wednesday last week Lane seemed pretty good. Saturday morning he woke up fussing. I really didn't think much about it. He cried all day Saturday unless he was asleep. I still was not overly concerned because he was not vomiting or unresponsive so I really thought he just had a bug. Well, Sunday came and he was STILL crying. Around ten I had had enough and took him to the ER. I still thought it was just a bug but something needed done. Turns out it was the shunt causing the problems as you know. I really hope they got it fixed this time. Poor guy got stuck literally 20 times trying to get an IV and still didn't get one. The had to do it during surgery poor baby. <br />
<br />
So with anyluck we will be home very soon! I have no idea what this breathing stuff is going to put us in but hopefully it's manageable at home!<br />
<br />
Again thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, concern, and interest!ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-85691812308047299772011-03-01T10:53:00.000-08:002011-03-01T10:53:09.032-08:00Headed home...hopefully?!?!?!?!Lane is doing well today. They revised the shunt again. The doctor said there was some mild bleeding in the brain which she thinks triggered an immune reaction that clogged the shunt. She went in and cleaned out the ventricles of the brain to check for active bleeding and she found none! So Lane has a brand new shunt and some really clean ventricles!! <br />
<br />
Last night he woke up from surgery super happy. <br />
Some quick phone snap shots of the smiles I had not seen in a few days.<br />

We are hoping to all get home tonight! I had to come take a test for finals so I am waiting on the call to come back or wait here at home. It really sucks not being there even though it has only been a few hours. Daddy and Grandma Chrissy are there with him though! <br />
<br />
The only thing holding them there is since the surgery lane has started making a whistling noise. It sounds kind of like the stridor before the trach but not quite. He just keeps coughing so it is irritating him. Pulmonary is suppose to be looking at him anytime now to see what is going on. They said it was a leak in his airway. Dare I wish that this shunt surgery fixed the vocal cords!!! I am doing my best not to jump the gun on that one. <br />
<br />
Well that is all for now here. I will update as soon as I get some more info. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers!

We are back at riley. They sent us home on wednesday and yesterday we came back for unconsolable crying which was of course the shunt. Lane had surgery this morning and is doing well. I will update this later this week if not before. I am crazy stressed as it is finals week at school on top of all this!ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-52599014017535045562011-02-22T19:04:00.000-08:002011-02-22T19:04:51.606-08:00gone and back again :) :(We left riley on valentines day after Lane had his shunt revision. He has been doing well this week, acting really good, with the exception of a cold. Then today happened. Now, Lane has scared the crap out of me many times. He has worried me and shot my emotions to h*** more times than I can count. Today he freaked me out. That's a first! So the story begins...<br />
<br />
He was sick last night. Vomited a few times, fussy, sleepy the general stuff. I really thought it was a mixture of a cold and new meds as I took him to the doctor yesterday afternoon. Shunt was deep in the back of my mind but not anything that really said "SHUNT PROBLEM."<br />
<br />
But boy I heard it loud and clear this morning. I have seen a lot of stuff being in nursing school and with Lane but I never expected what I saw when I changed Lane's diaper this morning. He woke up acting fine so I thought he was better. Then as I was changing his diaper he turned his head. I about died right then. His shunt was not visible and over where he shunt used to be was a tennis ball sized bump. It was squishy and obviously full of fluid. I freaked!<br />

So once again I am sitting in a hospital room letting the world know a little piece of my families ongoings. The doctors are not sure what is causing the fluid so we wait here until they figure it out. They really picked a nice place for us to stay during this waiting game. Just kidding though this is one of the nicest hospital rooms I have been in. Anyway I'm asking for prayers. Good strong prayers. Any prayer! You all know prayer is what has Lane with us today so pray we will. My little boy is so strong and it makes me hurt so much for him to have to go through this stuff. I would do anything to trade him places, but that is not God's will. Lane is strong, stronger than anyone I know, and he will come through this with flying colors as always. Of that I am sure. <br />
<br />
This is a shout out to you little man, "MOMMY LOVES YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!"<br />
<br />
Thank you all, Danielle<br />
<br />
P.S. See bottom of post for a little shunt lesson :)<br />

<strong>Shunts...</strong><br />
A little background for new followers. Lane was born after six weeks of hospital bedrest four weeks early with a birth defect known as spina bifida. This is where the spinal cord protrudes out of the back. In lane's case it started in the mid-lower back and decended down the rest of his back. FYI they close this shortly after birth. Spina bifida causes paralysis of varying degrees generally in the legs and hips ( Lane cannot move his feet and his legs are very weak), bowel and bladder issues, and Arnold Chiari 2 malformation (ACMII). This is just the basic three. The ACMII is a brain malformation that basically pulls the brain back and down causing the brainstem to go down into the top of the spine. This causes hydrocephalus(fluid on the brain) which is treated with a shunt. A shunt is a tube that goes into the ventricles in the brain and runs down the body to the abdomen. It functions to drain fluid from the brain. ACMII also can be symptomatic as lanes is and cause aspiration and vocal cord paralyisis along with other things. Thus the reason Lane has a trach and g-tube. This is just the basics of this condition as the facts are much more extensive and detailed. I just skimmed over everything quickly. Feel free to look up anything more. O did I mention that spina bifida kids are amazing because they truly are.

I hate to report that we are back at riley hospital. Lane's shunt was clogged so we were transferred up here late last night. He had been sleepy, cranky, and vomiting so we decided to get him checked. Good thing! He is in surgery now so hopefully we can update soon with good news. They also thought he had pneumonia but that has all been cleared. Thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...ddeisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06112377974681904198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709043339207104866.post-56595932208782037182011-02-05T17:54:00.000-08:002011-02-05T17:54:36.835-08:00At Long Last.....An update<em>To Climb Steep Hills Requires A Slow Pace At First- Shakespeare</em><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Yes, You are seeing this correctly!!!! Lane is sitting! Slowly but surely we have hit our first major milestone and o what an amazing feeling. Lane is pretty proud of himself too everytime he sits and has an audience of applauses and standing ovations. :) </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It's strange. The way it feels to want something so bad for your child. The feeling is so strong and raw sometimes it is hard to bear. You want it. You question everyone you know. You pray. You pray harder. Then it happens. Words cannot describe the way it felt to see Lane, my precious child, do something I was told he would never do, would not be alive to do. Breathtaking, that is what it was. Simply Breathtakingly beautiful.....</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">As you can see Lane is doing really well! We have finalized our move to Indiana so are in the process of switching therapy, drs, ect. I didn't realize how much of a pain this was going to be! Lane is doing amazing, growing and developing every day! Those little hands are getting finer tuning by the minute. He can snatch up anything instantly these days. Especially things he shouldn't have. Today he tried REALLY hard to say uh-oh...it was so cute watching him try to work around that trach. He did get the oh several times. Such a persistant little guy.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Lane also graduated to a "big boy" car seat today. I think he is liking the extra room. That little infant seat was getting cramped.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been noticing a lot more movement out of Lane's legs lately, which really gets me excited. He is still bearing weight and can actually push off his legs. He pushed his highchair back the other day off his daddy's legs. That was another YAY moment in our household.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Medically, thank goodness, I have no news. Lane is "healthy", I throw this around loosely, and has no new issues. We go back to Spina Bifida clinic on the 1st of March for check-ups so I will update then on anything new in that area.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">As for general life here in Indiana, it's cold. And wet. And miserable. Why do I live here again? Snow, ice, and frigid temperatures are about the only news in this state. Yuck.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm ending this short, with a promise to post again soon, I have my internet back from the move now, and an apology for so long without an update. We did fall off the face of the planet but are back now! Just kidding! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Lane recieved every toy available for an eight month old within three states at Christmas (I'm really not kidding) and we all had a great time with family and friends this Holiday season! <br />
<br />
The new year has begun and we are looking forward to it joyfully. I am ready to spend the year with our little guy and we are praying hard for a HEALTHY year for Mr. Lane. We are looking forward to possible removal of the trach and g-tube this spring and maybe a walking baby! As for me I'm looking forward to a summer vacation with my little guy. Three full months of fun in the sun with Lane...count me in!!!! <br />
<br />
To begin this new year we have a to do list( I swear it never ends). We are trying to move across the river which envolves new pt, medical supplies, pediatrician, and yay basically everything but thats ok! I am starting nursing classes in just a few days and Roger is working like a mad man to make it all happen! I love you hunny. :)<br />
<br />
So since Lane is a healthy little guy I think a list of his new tricks and trades is an approprate way to inform you all of his progress!<br />
Lane is now...<br />
able to roll over!!!<br />
bearing weight on his legs...amazing<br />
sitting with his hands between his legs<br />
blowing bubbles<br />
kissing<br />
pinching<br />
taking anything you have<br />
lunging for anything he wants<br />
reaching for people and things....mostly things lol<br />
fighting sleep<br />
having a serious fit if you take something away<br />
"talking" as much as a baby with a trach can!!!<br />
removing the vent from his trach and eating it....<br />
fully eating orally...bottle and baby food<br />
making these awful faces that only a redhead could make<br />
crying for his mommy for however long he must until the "holder" gives him up<br />
critically examining objects<br />
still sucking that thumb<br />
working on the sippy cup<br />
getting some hair finally<br />
pulling his legs up to a crawling position when on his tummy<br />
and...well just getting spoiled rotten...<br />
I'm sure i have forgotten many things, but he is simply amazing!!!!!<br />
<br />
Of course pictures....<br />

The Deisher household has been plagued with a virus as of late. It started with me, then Lane, and Roger followed closely behind. The worst part of it all is none of us are feeling 100% better. I worry about Lane because he has not had his RSV vaccine yet due to shipping problems and the increased risk of respiratory infections. He acts good but slightly lethargic and just sick enough to worry his mommy sick. Otherwise, we are all doing great! Lane is getting bigger, on full oral feedings now, and although we are behind on gross motor skills, he is really perfecting his fine motor. I can tell already he is going to be a busy body. He wants anything and everything within his reach! Hopefully, the need to get stuff will begin to urge him to MOVE to get it!!! I'm posting a few pics though I admitedly have not done well taking pictures with all this sickness. :) Have a Merry Christmas Everyone and keep an eye out for pictures of Lanes first Christmas!!!! <br />
