Update
Sammie had an appointment with his Cardiologist and Neurologist yesterday at Fletcher Allen. It never fails that the days I need to drive an hour or two are the days that it decides to snow out! It wasn't bad though!
We were in Burlington the day before for Darby's appointment and while we were waiting we saw Dr. Johnston. She was the Neo-natal physician that treated Sammie in the NICU and also saw him up until about 6 months ago. She couldn't believe how big he was and how much he had changed! She was very pleased to see him! He can put a smile on anyones face! :)
So yesterday we saw Dr. Drucker, his Cardiologist, first. She also hasn't seen him in 6 months. She was so happy to see him sitting up and standing (with my assistance of course!) and playing and making noise. She couldn't believe how much energy he had. I told her she hadn't seen anything! haha! She checked him over, answered all my questions, asked me questions, changed some medication doses and told us she'd see us in 6 months! woo hoo! I love those visits..where it's more a visit then anything else!
Next he saw Dr. Kalsner, his Neurologist. He had passed out for his nap by this time so she decided not to wake him. After all, Dr. Drucker had already poked around him! Since he has now been off the seizure medication for a year and we have not seen any seizure like activity she said we don't need to see her again unless something comes up! Another huge WOO HOO! So a big Thank you shout out to Dr. Kalsner and all her nurses that took such wonderful care of my Sammie Sam! We will miss you dearly, but hope we only see you in the hallways or if you pop in to say hello at a different appointment!
So great news this week. He has his two year check-up on Friday! Busy busy week here and next week will be also because of Thanksgiving! Hope you all have a great Holiday!
Chow!

Another day in the life of...
Hello all!
We've been having some beautiful weather up here in the North Country! Hope it's the same where you are..or even nicer!
Sammie and I will be venturing to Glens Falls, NY in the morning for our first hearing aide visit. We were supposed to go a couple of weeks ago but couldn't because of a snow storm. Not where we live but South of us..where we needed to go! So we'll be off bright and early for that! Hopefully I have everything I need in order for that and if I don't then I guess they'll tell me when I get there!
On a sad note..Sammie's PT has decided to leave Early Intervention :( I certainly respect her decision but will miss her. Sammie and I have become pretty attached to her in the past two years. She is the best in Plattsburgh and I know you all think I'm a bias but everyone who know her knows how dedicated she is to the families she works with and how wonderful she is with the children. She will be deeply missed by our family.
Sammie has been doing good! I'm really trying to keep him up on his feet as much as I can. We're really trying to get him into a crawling position when we work with him. Still working on him grabbing his own bottle..he was doing it a while back but gets mad whenever you try to make him do it now. Not sure what that's about. Still hates water, juice and anything other than Pediasure. I keep trying and hope we never have a pediasure shortage!
I wanted to post some pics of him in his Halloween costume..he was a dragon, but I forgot my camera and when we got back he was sleeping. I will try to remember to put him back in it sometime this week so I can get some photos! He was soooo cute!
He has his 2 year physical next week along with a visit to the Cardiologist and Neurologist for check-ups. Still can't believe it's been 2 years but thats what his birth certificate says so I'm gonna go with it! So I will post the news from those. That will be a looooong week. We will be at Fletcher Allen all day on Monday for Darby, she has Chrones and we're meeting a couple of other people for her team and then Sammie's all day Tuesday with his team, Friday with the Pediatrician and of course Early Intervention everyday, work for me everyday and Oh..looking at my Calendar.... a very special Happy 5th Birthday coming up for Isaiah..one of my fave nephews! wheeeeww Busy!
