We thought this would be a fun way to post updates on Olivia and Madi's ever-changing world for family & friends to see!
About Me
- Kristy and Brian
- Brian & I met online in 2000 and married in June 2003. Olivia was born April 14th, 2006, a week before due date! She has blessed us in so many ways. She had an AVM bleed in her brain at 5 mo. and had emergency surgery to remove it. She's been through 4 surgeries total, all by age 5. Oct. 6, 2006 was the date of the AVM bleed and she endured PT, OT, and Speech Therapy through Early Intervention Services until age 3. Now, only OT once/wk and an IEP through school w/sped ed, OT and Speech. Madison was born 6.29.09 and is growing up too fast, talking up a storm, potty training and enjoying time with her family and friends at daycare and church. Her cute little personality blossoms more every day. :) The girls are best friends and get along really well about 99% of the time.

2012 a great year
I vow that 2012 will be a great year for our family! O is in Kindergarden, Madi in Toddler Town @ daycare, and both doing well. Olivia and I are part of a Daisy Troop here in Roanoke and I've started taking the girls to a gymnastics class once a week. Our house is on the market and we hope to move into a slightly larger home by mid-summer! Dexter has been seizure free for a year and just got his semi-annual grooming done. Brian's company should be bought out (finalized in courts) this summer, too, which will be wonderful for those folks.
Olivia started w/an OT at Carilion in the Fall and sees her weekly and has an IEP at school w/OT, PT (dropping for 1st grade), and adding Speech/Language back in shortly. Her special education teacher has seem lots of progress, as has her regular teacher, whom we all adore. Olivia has opened up to her classmates and become more social and outgoing since the beginning of 2012. Her ADHD has been controlled w/a new stimulant med. we tried this school year w/little to no side effects...and we're adjusting dosage soon to help w/attention to task issues popping back up. Till next time...
