Happy Sunday to everyone! Saturday we shared a beautiful day with the Gibson family. Back before Avery had brain surgery we had a quick baptism for her. Well yesterday we remembered Avery's baptism and had Lily, Alex and Evan baptised together. Pastor Mark from Trinity came to the Gibson's house and we had a beautiful personal baptism for the children. Thank you Pastor Mark it was lovely! The Gibson's have become like family to us and I would not have wanted to share that moment with anyone else. They have encouraged our faith and Chris has pulled me up during some dark moments. We love you guys! Thank you to all of our family and friends who shared this day with us. In Leu of gifts the children asked for donations to the Animal Human Society. Together they raised over $300! We plan on bringing the donation in tomorrow. Thank You! Everyone is doing fine around here. Me, Mom has been very sick for the past week. I finally got some antibiotics on Friday. Thanks Dr. Stannard! I'm starting to turn the corner...Thank God! I've never been this sick before and for so long. This Friday I have my 20 year high school reunion. Yikes!! I'm looking forward to spending sometime with old friends...Look out Rochester! Tom and I are spending a night away from the kids. Thanks Auntie Mary and cousin Frankie for taking care of the girls! We found two nannies! Yeah!!! They are both wonderful. Kelly starts this week. She will really be Avery's personal care attendant. Avery needs more supervision because of her mobility, vision and other risks. It will give us peace of mind that someone is always watching Avery. Kelly has experience as a PCA and she is in graduate school for speech language pathology. My hope is that she can also work with Avery's memory issues this summer. Leslie will start the following week. She is a recent college grad from River Falls. She is super sweet and will hopefully transition from nanny to Avery's student aid for next school year. The Hudson school district is not providing an aid for Avery next year because of budget issues. Trinity Academy is a private school, they can't afford to pay for an aide, nor do we expect them too. It will be up to us to pay and provide Avery with an aide. It will cost our family lots of money but we feel it's a good investment. We love Trinity and it's the best environment for Avery. Avery's classmates and the students are so supportive of her and her situation. We know a public school could provide more support at no cost but the God part is a big deal to us. Trinity has other students with special needs...just not to the extent of Avery. They are doing their best to provide an excellent academic experience for all students. I could not imagine my kids going any where else. Next year both Lily and Avery will be going full time. Lily is soooo excited. Well I'm going to rest more today so I can get over this nasty sickness! I hope you all have a wonderful week! Thank you for your continued prayers for Avery and our family. Positive thoughts and prayers! Team BrAvery!
