Kaedra neck xrays

So we got a callback from the dr about kaedra's x-rays. It appears
that she has spina bifida occulta. That is the least problematic of
the spina bifidas so it shouldn't be a big deal and shouldn't affect
her neck movement. He wants an MRI on her neck to make sure and then
we will start physical therapy.

I am very happy that she should have full neck movement but not
thrilled to hear she has a new diagnosis of something. And you know
what?? I am positive Jesus took on spina bifida (of all sorts) from
the cross! So I know she is healed!

Blessings,
Kahri

Mary Janes

I did a Crochet-along with my neice, Sherria. We decided to make these Mary Jane slippers. I had a lot of fun Crocheting with her and I love my finished product! I will post pictures of hers when I can!


Haekelbeuteling

This afternoon I sewed three linings for my Haekelbeutels! I am so excited. I haven't gotten them sewed into the bags yet, but at least I got them all done! Now I have two bags to finish sewing up and then insert the linings into all three. I didn't delve into making pockets yet, although I do need to put some pockets on my mom's lining. I will try to add those next time! I can't wait to get these done! they are going to be awesome!
