Beginning of Carsyn’s Diagnosis

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Special Needs Tagged With: carsyn, cerebral palsy, Holoprosencephaly

UPDATE on Carsyn: As long as no one is sick today, they are coming to discuss his evaluation results and set up an action plan. I am so anxious & nervous. Thanks again friends for all your support and prayers. I have felt them through these weeks of uncertainty and waiting. If you know me I have no patience whats so ever. ha ha! This has taught me to have some though.

My plan for Joy of Love’s Day 7 was to do a generation photo with hubby and the boys. Dustyn wasn’t cooperating as you can see in the photo below he is clothes-less again. I want to do a really good photo this weekend during the day outside. We will see if that happens. Hubby’s birthday is on Saturday, but he has to work so maybe on Sunday. Anyways here are some photos that I took that I am going to use for Day 8. My husband gave me my boys. I am forever grateful for that. He has also given me so much for my photography love. He has believed in my passion.

{yes Carsyn is wearing his Halloween Pajamas. Hey, if the Pajamas fit, where them…}

{I do wear contacts, but at home I wear glasses most of the time}

Carsyn has been sitting up so well lately. He still topples over a lot though.  The above storyboard is from Pixel Perfect.

Make sure you head on over to Four Plus an Angel today . Jess wrote an awesome post and included some photos of mine.

    I couldn't agree more on the pajamas (ahem - as I sit here wearing my candy corn socks from Halloween!). We wear pajamas (and socks) as long as they fit regardless how many months past the holiday. HAHA! Heck - I posted pics last week of someone in our household wearing Christmas socks: http://www.typicalsuburbanfamily.com/2011/02/02/things-i-love/ How did the meeting go regarding the eval?

    Praying for Carsyn and YOU!! Your photos are fantastic yet again and I'm sooo jealous you have such great support from your husband. My husband is glad I have a hobby, but gets annoyed easily when I won't put the camera down... it's a delicate balance.
