Update, Dec 2009
Sunshine has had a very healthy year. Praise God!
She had a great growth spirt last summer. Only downside to that was she outgrew her braces very quick. We waited till summer was over to make sure her growth spirt had slowed down. She gets her new braces this month.
She can do her school work, but generally doesn't. When she was tested at Children's Mercy they told us that since children with spina bifida are living longer and are in mainstream classes more they are seeing a direct physical correlation between where their back was open and what part of the brain is effected with ADD. We [family and teachers] have worked a long time with her but we think it may be time to try medication. Not something we want to do, but nothing else has worked.
Right now Flat Stanley from Georgia is visiting. Picture on Photo Page 2.
