The Four Year Movie Project Needs YOU

You may have noticed that I've given this blog a bit of a face lift to start off the New Year, and I've also posted back up all of Leo's movies that I've made for him on his birthday. You can view them from the link on the home page's title bar. The very first movie I made for him is called the Half Year movie because we weren't sure that he would make it to the One Year movie mark! But he did and the Half Year movie become almost a catalyst for the miracle of the change in his terminal diagnosis. However, at the time of making that movie, I did not know the happy news yet so it was made with a dose of grief, along with the joy that we felt in having Leo in our life. The other movies mark his amazing development and progression after that first reconstructive surgery, but I'm sure you have also noticed that the Four Year movie is missing! When Leo turned four this past August we were up to our ears in the business of buying a house and moving, and then... life just kind of got away from me for a little while, so as of now, there is no Four Year movie. 
But I really want to continue the tradition of the yearly movie, so here is where I need YOUR help!
My idea and perhaps my (attainable) New Year resolution, is to make his four year movie starring him, us....and...maybe his dearest fans! Meaning you!
In my head I'm picturing it in a documentary style and interspersed between the clips of our lion boy being his cute and adorable self I want to have segments of people who love him and who have been touched by his story.

What you have to do:
Send me via email a very short (like way under a minute) clip made on your iphone, tablet, or what have you, it doesn't have to be hollywood quality here, of you/family/friends sharing what Leo has meant to you. (I know all of you are good bunch, but it is the world wide web here so I have to say it: please please keep it clean!)

A couple ideas to help:
 Answer one of the following questions in your words or even pictures (why not, let's get creative, if your kids want to draw him a picture or something).

1. If you had a chance to tell Leo something face to face, what would it be?
2. How long you have been following his story, and why?
3. The one thing that has stuck with you the most after reading his story.
4. What's one hope/wish that you may have for him in his mysterious future? (The sky is the limit here!)
5. If reading this blog has changed your perspective on special needs and disabled children,  and if so, in what way?

Again, keep in mind this will be an iMovie production, so no pressure for crazy HD quality, (no need to rush out for a professional camcorder!) just so long as it's viewable and short enough to be emailed. Anyway it should be easy and fun to do.

I'm hoping to put the movie together in the next couple of weeks so if you want to do it, don't wait long...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

With Mixed Feelings

So for the past couple weeks my feed has been filled with the "back to school" and "end of summer" and "beginning of parental freedom from their annoying offspring" photos. It's ok, I totally get it. Another year, another back to school pic, another notch in the door jamb, and another chapter of growth and development with junior. Look at him go! Or not, as the case may be for many children. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease control and Prevention) one in six children has one...a developmental disability. A stamp of "not normal" across their foreheads. A number. A check mark in a box. My kid is one of them. I heard a brief segment on NPR that enticingly started out with the title of developmental delays on the rise, a 17% increase over the last twelve years. And though I turned up the volume the segment only talked about how it's probably only due to poverty, and it's only the upper classes that actually pursue diagnosis...

The Heart Knows

Today during the physical therapist's visit, Leo was put through his paces. She had a whole list of things, 40 to be exact, of regular newborn motor reflexes and characteristics. Each one gets a check-mark (or not) and then a total score once she tallies up all the information that she observed. Although the final score for Leo really itself doesn't matter, the test was more to establish a baseline of development for Leo, and to find his strengths and weaknesses. Once this baseline is established, it will be easier to tell any progression and growth. Just since her last visit, she observed that Leo was doing a much better job of keeping his head in mid-line position. Before he would always keep it on one side or the other. She also determined during the exam that Leo definitely tracked her with his eyes and responded to sound. More specifically, to my voice. She had him on his tummy facing away from us, and she shook a rattle and made some noise to see if he would move his head...

Shunts Away!

Here is just a quick update for all those waiting and praying for our Leo, before we go collapse in bed for the night. Leo was prepped and ready for surgery early this morning, but they only took him around two in the afternoon. We were there with him for most of the day today, just waiting and biting our nails. The anesthesiologist, a very nice British guy, came up around lunch to talk to us about the risks etc in Leo's case. Apparently because of his tucked up little chin, the regular breathing tube could not be used without lots of maneuvering and fiber optic tools. The anesthesiologist decided to use another breathing aid that isn't normally used for babies; a little tube that only goes down into his larynx, and does not do much more then blow some air down. Most of the breathing support would have to come from Leo himself. Typically under anesthesia babies need help to breathe, so the anesthesia team takes over the breathing. However the side effect of that is the newborns...
