Although breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, lunch is also an essential time for kids to refuel, stay focused and get the energy they need for the rest of the school day.
The Force is with us
We met our inspirational, courageous, heroic, soldier in February through Akron Children’s. We were so excited to watch and listen to the radiothon this year. Randy and I would leave either the radio or computer on for the duration of the event. We were inspired by each story that came across the airwaves.
Kids are truly #1
We attended our first Kids are #1 Run event at Akron Children’s this weekend after being invited to join Team Sofie. What a variety of vendors and activities for the kids – face painting, hair spray dyeing, animals and creating children’s names with sticky letters and building blocks.
Still super – Jordan on the move with leg braces
Jordan has been doing well with his super boots. I am amazed at how these boots have given him freedom. As Randy and I were getting ready to go to work last week, Jordan was playing in his little area and tipped over.

Do you want to hear the news you need to cath so you’re not constantly looking for signs and symptoms? Or do you want to hear keep monitoring?
Life is good with Jordan’s “super boots”
I had a hard time sleeping last Thursday night due to my excitement of Jordan’s appointment to get his ground reaction AFOs (Ankle Foot Orthosis). These leg braces may be the key to strengthening muscles that he has never been able to use correctly.
