Ready to party on the potty, that is. I have come to the conclusion that Little Miss Throwsafit has been playing me. For several months now I have been making excuses in my head that the reason why she has not been as successful with potty training when it comes to peeing has to do [...]

Holding my breath that no one else gets sick
Little Man was down for the count last weekend with a fever of about 102. I don’t think it was H1N1 since he didn’t have a severe cough. The only symptom that showed up was nasal congestion that has lingered, which made Little Man look droopy for days. My husband and I kept him home [...]
Hypotonia and one of its effects
Little Miss Throwsafit’s hypotonia causes her to have constipation. We give her Miralax every day but the dosage can be quite a tightrope. If we don’t give her enough, she’s severely constipated. If we give her too much she gets diarrhea. What makes this especially tricky is that the constipation can manifest itself suddenly. One [...]
Put one foot in front of the other
For several months now Little Miss Throwsafit has been walking with a walker and getting more sure footed and more confident every day. She moves her walker around with greater ease all the time. Since it has swivel wheels, she’s able to get around the house and other areas so much easier. Well, I am [...]
A new MRI scan
I got a call today from Little Miss Throwsafit’s neurologist at the University of Michigan. He finally got a look at her original MRI that was done in May 2006 (we had a heck of a time getting a CD of the scan sent from Toledo to UofM – don’t ask) and although the report [...]
Special Exposure Wednesday
I just now realized that I post a lot of my daughter’s therapy pictures for this particular meme. Rest assured, Little Miss Throwsafit does many other things besides therapy, so next time I’ll be sure to post a picture of her simply being a little girl having fun. For now, however, I’m including another therapy [...]
Thankful Thursday or Life Doesn’t Suck as Much as I Thought Thursday
I’m not sure how I’m feeling yet this morning, so I’m using both titles. The first is nice and sweet; the second has an attitude. I’m loving Thursdays. Part of the reason I’m so thankful for Thursday is because this is the day Little Miss Throwsafit’s therapists come to our house. For her other physical [...]
Your daughter has hypotonia
Those were the words Little Miss Throwsafit’s pediatrician said to me after examining her at her 9 month well visit. Today in my premier post at Blissfully Domestic, I write about the day I learned my daughter has hypotonia. Please take a few moments, head on over, and take a look. If any of you [...]
Special Exposure Wednesday
I took this picture yesterday at Little Miss Throwsafit’s physical therapy session. That’s Karin, her physical therapist, behind her. She was so excited because my son was handing her a little basketball so she could throw it towards the basket that was hanging on the door. It was an impromptu therapy technique because in order [...]
Thankful Thursday
I am thankful for Fussy’s post about her son, Joey. He, like my daughter Little Miss Throwsafit, has hypotonia and speech apraxia. The main difference between our kids is that LMT didn’t have External Hydrocephalus. I was so excited to read her post about Joey, because, after hours and hours of physical, occupational, and speech [...]
