I teach the 4 and 5 year olds so she was in my class. She has had such a good time watching the puppets,singing the songs and coloring.<br />
Tonight she was sitting next to a little boy and coloring.She looked over at him,touched him lightly on the arm and then waved and said, as she pointed at herself, "Hey there I'm Ruby." I could hardly keep from crying. I keep hearing her in my mind,"Hey there I'm Ruby." Precious words.<br />

When I was done making the pancakes I tapped my big metal spoon against the top of the metal bowl,still half full of pancake mix,it made a loud noise.Ruby, who was sitting nearby in the entrance to the kitchen,looked up at me and clearly said,"What's that?" She amazes me sometimes with how much she understands and how much she is just like any 4 year old child.<br />
I was so excited just a couple of weeks ago when I saw that she had colored all over the side of my refrigerator and she left her "Artwork" on my living room wall and down the hallway wall.I was excited because I remembered her oldest brother doing a similar thing at four years old,he colored all over the wall in my hallway.
When I saw Ruby's 'artwork' for a brief second I felt a little irritated,then I started laughing and smiling because I realized she did what many other four year old children do.<br />
I'm so thankful the Lord gave her to me.She makes me appreciate the small things,she gives me patience.

When you find out you are the parent of a child with Down syndrome you go through a lot of emotions.I respect this man for sharing his thoughts of having a child who would not be perfect.I had some of those same emotions when Ruby was born.I'm not proud of some of the selfish things that ran through my mind.<br />
I'm so blessed with Ruby and happy that she was given to me.She changed me for the better and it's a privilege to get to be her momma and take care of her.<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q4foXehDmWs" width="560"></iframe>Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01013919287284128734noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398462056144757246.post-38708930344614944872012-10-02T22:34:00.000-05:002012-10-02T22:34:13.892-05:00October is National Down syndrome Awareness MonthOctober is National Down syndrome Awareness Month.<br />

I made a doll for my daughter Catherine this past Christmas but I wasn't real happy with the results.So before I sat down to make a doll for my daughter Rebecca I looked up info on the Internet about how to sew on doll hair.
Here are pictures of my results.

My 14 yr. old son, Daniel, went out to the car to get something, Ruby,seeing that the door was not locked,opened the door and went out.From my bedroom I hear my 7 year old son,Zane,screaming Ruby's name like I have never heard him scream before.I was terrified and ran to the front door to see my son Daniel carrying Ruby back to the house.Ruby had gotten to our van in the driveway where Daniel was and he caught her.<br />
Poor Zane did not realize that Daniel was outside and thought Ruby was getting out of the house all by herself.I took Ruby from Daniel and brought her back inside.Zane was on the couch crouched in the corner hiding his face and sobbing.He thought Ruby was going to get out in the street and get run over.I sat down next to him on the couch with Ruby in my lap.I told him everything was okay and that Daniel had seen Ruby and caught her.My poor little Zane was so relieved and grabbed Ruby and I and started hugging us.Ruby started patting Zane and saying,"You kay? You kay?"<br />
Ruby has siblings that love her so much.We all love her so much.I can't imagine how anyone could ever think that a child with Down syndrome is a burden. Ruby is our treasure.<br />

She got to come home from the hospital on Feb.2nd and was on oxygen until about 5 days ago when we were finally able to wean her completely off.<br />
She lost 4 lbs. off of her already tiny body.We were so happy when on the second day home she started asking for pizza.I have been feeding her lots of yogurt and giving her probiotics because taking antibiotics for over two weeks gave her horrible diarrhea.She is starting to get some of her weight back.<br />
Ruby is getting back to herself.I'm so glad to see all the books from the bottom of the bookshelf in the floor and my little tornado sitting in the middle of them looking at the pictures.<br />
<br />
Thank you for all the prayers that went up to the Lord for our sweet little girl.Thank you to my Facebook friends for your comments that helped me so much and cheered me up.It's nice to know so many people care.<br />
Thank you to my wonderful friend and midwife,Helen,for bringing a delicious supper that was hot and waiting for us the evening we were able to bring Ruby home.Helen,it means so much to me that you did that for us even though you were greiving for your son and also had a husband who had just had surgery.You are so precious. And, I'm so impressed that you remembered<br />
13 years later that Elizabeth was born breech! I love you!<br />

She has been receiving respiratory therapy with a device called,<a href="http://www.thevest.com/products/">The Vest Airway Clearance System</a>.The Vest has really helped Ruby to be able to clear the mucus out of her lungs,it compresses and releases the chest wall up to 25 times per second helping to create mini-coughs to dislodge the mucus.We were told that The Vest is used with Cystic Fibrosis patients.I was impressed with this little device.Ruby doesn't like it so much though.Poor little girl,she whines the whole 12 minutes of treatment,and because the the vest is inflating and deflating so fast it shakes her and makes her voice sound like a lamb baaing.<br />
<br />
Ruby is also having to have oxygen,the most she has had to have is 2 liters, now she is down to 1/2 a liter.She has started drinking some fluids.The doctors are telling us if we can just get her off the oxygen she can come home.<br />
<br />
I took Ruby's sisters to visit her tonight and she was so happy to see them.They had not seen each other since Ruby had gone to the hospital because they had all been sick with the Flu,too. When we got there Ruby's respiratory therapist was in the room and Ruby was crying,but as soon as she saw her sisters she stopped and smiled real big and said,"Hey,there!" The girls brought Ruby some stuffed animals and Ruby said,"Ooh,thank you!"<br />
<br />
My husband has been so great all this time and has spent almost every night with Ruby.<br />
<br />
I will be sooooo happy when Ruby can come home.I miss her pulling all the books off the shelf in the living room.The bookshelf just looks way too neat<br />
.We all miss reading to her and wondering what she is getting into now.<br />
I miss her telling me,"I be back," when she leaves the room I'm in.I miss her calling out for me saying,"Mom,mom!"<br />
<br />
Oh,and Ruby is on the sixth floor at the children's hospital.The symbol and name of the sixth floor is a Monarch butterfly.Butterflies are the symbol for Down syndrome.Way,cool.<br />

For Christmas I got her the <a href="http://www.signingtime.com/">'Family,Feelings,and Fun'</a> DVD ,one of the signs on that DVD is the sign for sick.Well,Ruby has been letting us all know how rotten she feels by signing sick when we look at her and she says "kick" with a pouty face. I can't say enough how great the <a href="http://signingtime.com/">Signing Time</a> video's are for helping with communication and speech.I started sitting Ruby in front of those video's when she was a tiny baby and I have lost count of how many signs she knows now.<br />
Ruby gets so excited when I buy her a new Signing Time DVD.I bought her a new one recently when she had to have tubes put in her ears.I thought it would cheer her up the day of the procedure.I just loved seeing the surprised look on her face.She kept saying "Signs,signs.Watch!" She learns new signs within minutes after starting to watch.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pics of my sweet sick princess.<br />
