Jack's Curvy Journey: August 2008
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2008. Three diaper leaks and we were at wit's end. It was the first weekend and we could not believe we were already dealing with a potentially ruined cast. Dad almost took him to the ER to have it cut off late one night, but I was persistent with a popsicle stick and wash cloths and we salvaged it. So, we're pretty sure now that the theory has been tested twice. And, we're also fortunate that his seems to be an intolerance. I feel for those who deal with Celiac on a daily basis an...

Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Too much Christmas shopping? Mom: Do you have any kisses for me in there? Jackson: No. I have anymore. Mom: You don't have ANY left? Jackson: No. Go Target and buy some.

Jack's Curvy Journey: July 2008
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. The removal of cast 6. Saturday, July 19, 2008. And hello in Cadiz! Just a little side note to whomever reads from Cadiz. A few months ago I installed a sitemeter that lets me know the general region of who is reading and when. It doesn't give me much beyond location, time of visit, and length of visit - but it's always interesting. So, hello in Cadiz! Here we go, again. Remember all the antibiotics this summer? This doesn't have that feel at all. It looks better! Not by a long sho...

Jack's Curvy Journey: September 2008
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 07, 2008. Having battled our share of fights over the last fifteen months, knowing what it is like to deal with the shock and grief of a new diagnosis and then have to constantly battle the insurance company to get your infant what they need. Well, it's just not something I wish upon anyone. I cannot fathom being Barack Obama, watching his mother on the phone, fighting with insurance companies while dying of cancer. This of this as a 'rack roll :). Tuesday, September 02, 2008.

Jack's Curvy Journey: November 2008
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Lazy cut and paste. I'm going to be blacklisted from Blogger, if I keep this up. ;). But, here's the latest - I just didn't have much else to add, so I thought I'd copy an email I recently sent out to some bracing/casting moms I know. Okay, good. BUT - I can't find a darn orthotist who agrees. Dr. K says he will no longer do long-distance bracing because it. Requires too much adjusting (we're about 8 hours away). I agree. It makes sense. After over a month of phone tag with B ...

Jack's Curvy Journey: 55°
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008/12/55.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. Outside, that is. The sun is shining and I am positively salivating at the thought of spring afternoons to come. We have months ahead of sub-freezing wind chills and inches of snow and ice. But, today, I am ready for spring. We received word yesterday that Dr. K was in receipt of the in-brace x-ray and measured 18-20°, K, the orthotist, measured 17°, and Dr. D measured 22° - so all are in the same ballpark. Excellent. Just excellent. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jack's Curvy Journey: June 2008
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. A Month To Two. It's just over a month until Jack's second birthday, and I find myself being a little weepy. And, no, not because he's my "baby" and he's growing up. I think part of it is a release from all the stress of the last year. We thought he'd be casted for a year (coming up on the anniversary, just passed the anniversary of his diagnosis) and we'd be done. We thought, one year will suck, but then it'll be OVER. No end in sight. No promise of cure. This year has been tumu...

Jack's Curvy Journey: You know how some people get itchy feet?
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2009/02/you-know-how-some-people-get-itchy-feet.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. You know how some people get itchy feet? When the sun is shining, when a plane flies over head, when you see the images of somewhere tropical and you just want to leave, now? I get that, too. But, with a trip on the horizon - our celebration trip - I'm feeling somewhat content to be here. Appointment. The x-rays. The information we need. And the day that sends my stomach instantly into a fit of knots. Since when is a friday night feature film $9.50? And then, one week later, we...

Jack's Curvy Journey: Quick update
http://jacksonb.blogspot.com/2009/01/quick-update.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Pulmonology - all clear. Come back if anything changes, if his curve increases, etc. Opthamology - abnormally near-sighted, but not enough so that it requires correction at this age. By 5, he will need glasses. No sign of the neurofibromatosis markers in his eyes. Still no answers, definitively, in that regard. We will watch and wait. It's good. He looks good - rotated, but not deteriorating in curvature.
