Thursday

      Okay, it is Thursday morning here. 9:35. I am sitting in the front room while Jocie is watching " Jack's Big Music Show" in her play yard. Myranda left for school almost an hour ago. Michael is asleep.

   The gals from the Infant Learning Program will be here at noon. They come twice a week to work with Jocelynn. There is a behavior and speech therapist. Jocelynn may have Autism. She will have a diagnosis later next month. She turned two in November and is not talking. I am not sure why. She was before. She used to say,"Mommy","Daddy", "Sissy", "Kitty" ,and"Good girl`".. She doesn't say any of that now.

   Jocie also is very particular about the way she plays, eats, sleeps..If her routine is, in any way thrown off, she let's you know that she is not happy about it. We do not take her to Stores or restaurants because it is too much going on. She opts for familiar, quiet surroundings ans people. Her favorite place to go is church. We have about six families that attend, so It is okay with her. It also helps that she is the youngest one there. She is never starved for attention.
   

 Lately, my days have been filled with doctors appointments, so it is kinda nice that It is now almost ten and I am still in my pajamas. On January 20th, I was in a car accident. It is weird how it happened. I ended up with infected hematoma and cellulitus. It is in my left upper thigh. So I  had  an incision made in my leg and they got everything "Bad" out. I then spent three days in the hospital. For five days after that, I would go up to the hospitals PT department. where they would clean the wound and pack it up with more gauze. Then, on Friday, they gave me the wound vac. This is what the unit looks like

Cute huh? I have the unit in a purse type bag that I carry around EVRYWHERE I go. I do get to disconnect it to take a shower. They think I will need it for about a month. This is a photo of my cute purse:

and this is my leg:





I am actually healing pretty good and with the wound vac, I can do more than with the bandages. so I am really happy about that.

Elvie

~And this piece of work is our cat, Elvis. He (she) thinks he is people. We found out that Elvis is a girl and my Husband is in total denial about it. Elvis loves everyone in the house but me. The only time this cat pays attention to me is when I am going towards the garage where we keep his food..This cat loves to lay at the foot of mine and Michael's bed and I am always kicking him/her off. I do love this cat though..

Mikey

This is my Husband, Michael. I met him when I was 17 years old. I will save the story for a later date. He is the best Daddy in the world! He is an o.k Husband too! He works very hard. He is also the most patient man in the world. He has to be to be married to someone like me. He is extremley smart, The king of movie and historic trivia. He can look at an actor and tell you if they were in the US Marines. He is my bestest friend. I am lucky to have such a great guy by my side...

Panda

          ~ and this is our oldest Daughter Myranda. ( Panda or Butterbean )
           Myranda is 15 years old. She is a sophomore in high school. She is smart, and very talented. She just doesn't know how much! She writes these poems and songs that are amazing. she has the voice to match..

    Myranda is a typical teenager. Wait, no she's not...She loves the Beatles ( especially John Lennon ), Anthony Hopkins, Egg salad sandwiches, and boys....

       She was my only child for a long time. She is a great Big sister though..   Like Jocelynn, I will write more about Myranda........

" Bertabert"

This lil' stinker is our Jocelynn. A.k.a  Bertabert.. I thought I would introduce you all to her first. As she is the youngest of the Boisvert clan. Jocelynn is two years old. She loves Daddy, The Wiggles, looking at picture books, putting everything in her mouth, whale crackers, and warm milk... Oh there are lot's more. That's a good start though.

  Jocie has been recently working with some specialists with the Infant Learning Program. Twice a week, We have a behavioral specialist who comes to our house. With her is usually a speech therapist or a occupational therapist. The reason for this is because at about one year, our Jocie stopped talking and doing alot of the things that she had already learned. So, we will talk more about that as I write more.

  Jocie is a miracle baby as far as we are concerned. She has the most wonderful laugh. She really is our gift from God....
