Just Talked with K

Macy has regressed in the past week.  She is stealing, defiante and peeing again.  This was a heart breaker to hear.  K hopes that she will come out of it soon, but obviously has some things to work through.  Her neuro showed no improvement in her birthing development.  Which makes her get stuck when she regresses.  K doesn't feel like Macy will be ready to come home til earliest March.  We need your help, after January we have no money to pay for Macy's treatment.  Please if you can any donation would help. You can donate on the link or send me a email for our address. Thank you. corrie.sorensen@gmail.com

Be-lated Happy Holidays

I am sorry I haven't posted to update you all on Macy and to wish you all Happy Holidays.  It has been a crazy month after getting home from my visit with Macy.  We had to get ready for the holidays and for me going into thyroid surgery on the 28th.  So now that they are both over and the kids are back in school I can get this updated. 
I have talked with Macy  weekly since my visit.  I wanted to keep that softness in her heart.  It only lasted a couple of days after I left.  She wanted to do anything and everything that K needed done so she could come home the first few days after I left. Then she found the card we gave her for her birthday that had the whole families voice and she shut down.  K said she wasn't raging, but yelling at K like a teenager would and would show no respect or emotion. This wasn't normal for Macy.  We realized after speaking on the phone that what brought this out was Macy hearing her siblings voices.  She realized that when she came home that it won't be just Mommy and her, but the whole family.  She wanted it to be like our visit. I spoke with her some and got her emotions out and she seemed to transition back to where she was before. 
Christmas weekend was a nice weekend with Macy.  Scott and I spoke with Macy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as she opened up our gifts.  Christmas Eve was about tradition.  She got her new PJ's and a book with Scott's recorded voice reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas."  She seemed to really enjoy that.  On Christmas Day she was so cute and sweet.  She opened up two gifts, one was a pillow case that had a picture of Mom and Dad that said "For Awhile We Are Out of Sight...At Least We are In Your Arms Tonight" and the other was a recorded voice book done by myself that talks about how much I love her wherever she is at.  It was so sweet, as soon as she opened up the book and heard my voice she started to cry, which got Scott and I crying.  She said she really missed us.  Those were such sweet and sincere words to hear.  After we got our emotions in control she started sharing with us what Santa gave her, from every little bit of candy to her jewelery and Micky Mouse watch.  It was fun to hear her excitement in her voice.  She expressed over and over how much she loved and missed us and wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  I told her to listen to what she is saying. She has never felt love like this for us and I wanted her to see that her heart was healing. We are so proud of her. 
The plan now is to make plans.  I am going to try to talk to K today and see what she is thinking for the transition.  Macy still has some things to work through, but we are hoping to see her home in the next couple of months. It can sneak up on us soon and I want to have both me and Macy emotionally ready for her to come home.  I am excited to have her back, but scared to death of what may happen.  I feel stronger that if she relapsed some that I can help her, but I am so scared to go back to where we were before.  Your prayers have been heard and we thank you all.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and hope this year brings many great things to you.
