How is Jaxson doing

I've been so consumed by this baby that came into our lives so quickly, that I haven't updated on the warrior to whom this blog is for.

Jaxson continues to do amazing. The trach really has been a lifesavor. Our new longer trachs are in the mail, so we should get those anytime. He is doing much better with his therapies, holding his head up for quite a long time. He still gets pooped out fast, but he's doing better. His vision seems to be slightly improved. He looked at bright tinsel yesterday, normally he only looks at lights. It had to be shiny tinsel, but he definitely looked. He's giving some great smiles. One of these days I'm going to catch some on video. (oh, and check out his flat hair, he had a beanie on that flattened his fohawk)

When he sits in his napnanny, he always puts his left leg over the side, its like his way of chillin.

Ok, and I am going to update whats been going on with the baby. I never heard anything about the meeting on Tuesday until today. Now they say they have multiple families they are considering. It sounds like at the meeting they pulled some families that are already in the system that said they would take special needs kids. But I really don't think anyone will take her. It sounds horrible, I know, but they've given this baby a death sentence, not to many families want to deal with that. We are still in the running, but we need to get moving on the paperwork, so here's what the plan is.

We are getting a home study done by a private company (which we will pay for) but the state will accept it. It is the only private home study the state accepts besides their own. But if we go through the foster system, the home study is the last thing they do, and we need it first so she can come into our home. Plus, with getting this home study, we can use it for other adoptions through other agencies should this not work out. We also are getting started with the states procedures to become foster-to-adopt parents, which is all their classes and licenses. So I am still hopeful that we can get this baby, but if it doesn't work out, we have a home study to start looking elsewhere for our girl.

Now that I've had it so close to my fingertips, my urge for a girl is stronger than ever

Heck, pretty soon I'm going to start putting bows in Carters hair!!!
