It seems as though half of the blogs I've written this year are about CeCe. Well, since it's her birthday today, here we are again!
Notice this child is not wearing a cast. That actually lasted two days before she had a blow out pee in the night and soaked it. The doctor was all, well this can't happen, and my sister was like, good luck with that! It might not happen every night, but it happens a few times a week at least. So the hunt was on for a new plan, and Cierra was put into a brace, that she can overpower, so when she transfers from wheel chair to bed, she has both feet on the floor for a few seconds.
CeCe had an ortho appointment last Friday and things are progressing well. She had a bowling birthday party on Saturday with her family and friends, and she really seemed to enjoy herself. She was more engaged than usual, and even reached for her presents, which she could usually care less about. Normally in that type of situation she wanders, and that's all she can concentrate on. Perhaps being forced into staying still she is able to process things a little differently? Who knows. She obviously had fun, and that's all that matters.
It has been a difficult first half of the year for C and her parents, but really more for her parents and the rest of us who help where we can. The lesson that Cierra teaches us every day is to be happy with what you have, and roll with it.
Eight is CeCe's favorite number, and to my knowledge the only one she says. Years ago we were counting something and she just spit out the word, but always with an extra t t t t t on the end, eightttttttt. Also, she wouldn't show her mother she could do it, going so far as to whisper it if we were counting and Kate was nearby. :)
For her birthday I am getting her a Hello Kitty Backpack, that she actually picked out. Pointed right to it and said backpack! It's on order, so she'll have another gift to open whenever it arrives. She got a bunch of new board books, a movie, and some cool music and bubble toys. Things to keep her busy while she is confined.
About that....... She isn't so confined today. CeCe got her birthday wish, and broke a screw off her brace in the night. So she's hanging out sitting "criss cross applesauce" in her wheelchair while her Grandpa takes the brace to Duluth to see if they can fix it, or NOW WHAT? :) Ahhhhhh Cierra.......
Happy birthday sweet girl!! xxoo and a million ♥
