Are you ready?

IMG_5366Well the tree is up, cookies have been baked {and eaten I might add}, Christmas shopping is DONE and the presents are wrapped….all is in the holiday groove in the Rhino household.

Rhino still has PT 2 times a week.  Some have been asking why Christian is still in PT….well simple answer is, he had major surgery on his ankle {a bone removed and LOTS of nerves re-routed} and literally has to learn to re-balance himself and in a way walk all over again.  His foot moves now in ways that it never did before so hence his whole body has to learn to adjust to the movement.  He’s just now getting to the point that he can put some impact on it, like jogging.  Running is still out of the question and so is jumping but his ankle is getting stronger and his demeanor is great.  The biggest fear right now, since we have been blessed with snowIMG_5356  is that he takes a tumble on the slippery ice and does damage or breaks something BUT that is not going to happen so……

In other news Rhino made a trip to Gettysburg for Thanksgiving with the Eggie Family.  IMG_5389 It was an opportunity that presented itself and literally couldn’t of been passed up so, Christian left Thanksgiving day and returned the following Monday.  Our first Holiday without the kid and boy it just didn’t seem right but I guess it’s a preparation for when he moves up and onward huh?

Really other than the holiday parties, school winding down for Christmas break, and preparing for Rhino’s up and coming 16th birthday {um that’s all I hear about now is how many more days till the big 1-6!}, the Rhino household has been running as normal {and the running part isn’t an exaggeration!}

We hope you all have a blessed Christmas {or whatever holiday you may celebrate!} and a healthy, fun filled 2010!!

Glad to hear that all is well on the homefront. Take some time for yourself this week. Grab that glass of wine and a good book and set the timer for 60 minutes of Danine time with no interruptions. You deserve it!

Love,
Kelly
