Dani’s on “cruise control”

Dani has had a busy week and it is only Tuesday!  Monday, she had an appointment with her chiropractor.  It has been over a month since she has been there.  Dr. Marsh was expecting a bad appointment, but Dani was the perfect patient.  (For once)  Or maybe that it was an evening appointment that she [...]

Dani + Traveling = Not Fun

We survived our trip to the Cities!  Thank you Grandma Donna for coming with us.  We left on Sunday and hit some construction on the way there.  We just chilled at the hotel to let Dani recover from the ride.  On Monday, we hit Albertville to try to complete our back to school shopping.  Kaylee [...]

Better late, than never…

Wow, it’s been over 2 months since my last posting.  Where has the summer gone? Brianna played her 1st year of softball.  She had fun and was actually quite good even though she throws like a girl!  Haha, that was our joke, she would get quite offended when I would tell her that, BECAUSE SHE [...]

Precocious puberty

Just when we thought that Dani was going to finally behave, she pulled the rug out from under us once again.  I tell you what, that girl, can make a person worry.  I am going to attribute all my gray hair to her, and yes I have gray hair.  Just ask my sister, she yanked [...]

Hips good…knees not so much…

We had a nice, quiet weekend.  Tony took Kaylee and Brianna back to Grandma Donna’s for the weekend.  The dog pouted in his kennel and the cat crawled the walls, I guess the four legged critters didn’t enjoy the peace and quiet as much as Dan, Dani and I did!  Dani had an appointment with [...]

You’ll Never Know Until You Try…

Friday was a busy day for appointments in the German house.  We started the day with Dani’s renewal of her Family Support.  This is the program that pays for Dani’s diapers and put in our wood flooring!  An awesome program to be on when you have an child like Dani that challenges your household budget.  [...]

Happy Birthday Abby!

We went to Brookings on Saturday to celebrate Abby’s 5th birthday party!  We really haven’t been anywhere since Christmas.  It was fun.  Dani did great! Dani went to see Dr Johnson today.  She is getting tighter in her hips and legs.  Since Dani is no longer at her weight threshold for the Baclofen Pump surgery, [...]

Happy Birthday Grandpa Durand!

Another week down for the German household.  Dani missed her weekly chiropractor appointment because of the weather.  On Wednesday, she had an appointment with her GI doctor.  Surprisingly, she is down in weight.  I say surprisingly because she still makes my biceps shake when I have to carry her.  She is down over 4 pounds!  [...]

January 23, 2010

Dear Dani ~ It is hard to believe today is your 4 year anniversary for your brain injury.  Due to the severity of your brain injury, you were given at most 3 months to live.  You sure showed them that they were wrong!  4 years, it has been a wild roller coaster ride, many sharp [...]
