Disney On Ice

Anniek won 2 tickets to go see Disney On Ice through the library here in the city. She doesn't know that she is going yet as it is not until next month. We read almost 100 books as it is 1 ticket per book and she loves it when we read to her.
Anniek has her cardio appointment in March. I am starting to get a little nervous about it because this is the first "real" appointment since she had the stent put in. She had an appointment a few weeks after the stent was put in to check on it and it was the size it was supposed to be, but she has grown quite a bit since she had the stent put in and I know that they can only go in once, maybe twice if they are lucky and make the stent bigger before she will need to have open heart surgery again...which I hope will not be for a long time.
At school we got her a wiggle cushion as she has having difficulties with sitting still and at her desk when it was time to do work. We discussed with the teacher what might help and decided to give the wiggle cushion a try and asked the Doctor in Toronto for a note saying that she needs the wiggle cushion for the school...she now has one for both at school and at home for during dinner...which has helped her stay at the table longer. She is also eating enough that we were able to cut out 1 can of formula per day which is awesome!!! So she doesn't need to drink any at lunch hour...she can just eat her lunch that gets sent to school with her.

That is great that she is doing so much better with her drinking!
Yay Anniek!
