Back Home

We are home in our real house and trying to get settled in after 10 months. Thanks Mom and Dad sooooo much for letting us stay for so long. It was the greatest slumber party ever. We loved being with you.

Josie is having fun getting her stuff set back up. She and Cole Drummond got to have a little play date yesterday and he was helping her with the Wii. She got it a week before we left last year so she really hasn't played much.

As for our trip home, it was crazy. We had a psycho lady stand in the security line telling me off for 10 minutes about how I was using my special needs child to get through security. I am not sure how she figured that since I was waiting in the same line as everyone else. Shocking the things she was saying to me. The man behind me finally yelled at her to stop because it was so abusive and negative for Josie to hear. Then half way through the flight the turbulence got really bad. We had walked up to the front to use the restroom and that's when it started. The flight attendant quickly buckled Josie into her seat. It was the kind of turbulence that drops so she didn't want to bump her head. When we arrived in LA, we were getting our bags and the the porter noticed one of them opened slightly. I went to zip it to see an empty medicine bottle. Someone stole her seizure meds right out of the bottle. They left the bottle and took the pills. Crazy I tell you. At least we made it safe and sound with my cute grandparents at the other end to pick us up.

When we pulled up to our house, Josie was just squealing with joy. She got to walk into the house with her canes. Remember when we left she couldn't even stand with canes...yeah Przemek, Sylwia and Liz for making this come true. She even said as she was walking in, "Przemek would be so proud of me." That night Grams and Gramps brought dinner over. She refused to go out after we got home. Gramps and Josie were playing bowling on the Wii. All of a sudden I looked over at the couch and Josie was in preparations to stand. Without even thinking twice about it she jumped off the couch and stood there playing the Wii. Her calves were touching the couch but that was it. It even surprised her that she did this. We all praised her and then reminded her that she can only jump off the couch if an adult knows and is near by. It is so impressive to she her do these things.

We miss you all in Michigan. What a quick 3 weeks. Melissa, give us updates on Rush. Reggie, your baseball hat picture is too cute. Theo, Josie will open up Camp Cloverly when she gets back.

Thanks for everyones constant support. It is much nicer to take this journey with lovely people. Jenny and Josie
