It's Been A While Let's Get Caught Up!!!

Well things have been pretty busy for Robbie this last year. He has been Officially Diagnosed with Autism. He is doing amazing he is speaking and enjoys many things. Robbie loves Drag racing, NASCAR, Basketball and The SF Giants. He is a very happy lil boy now a days. He is in only 3 days of tutoring now that he has turned 3 and goes to Preschool 2 days a week until the fall. Robbie can now count to almost 20 and knows is ABC's and even is starting to enjoy circle time at school.

This year I have dedicated myself to raising Money for Autism Speaks. Our Team The Robinators have worked very hard to raise over $5000 and its only May. We have another 7 months to raise funds with hopefully some dine and donates with some local business in Napa. Stay tuned for that!

With Summer coming up Jeff is busy getting the motor home ready for all the camping trips this summer which we are starting Memorial Day Weekend!!! Then Karley Robbie's big sister will be here and its going to be fun!!!

Well I need to go and get Robbie's lunch ready and then get ready to leave for his Orthopedic's Appt. he is getting fitted with Leg Straps today to help straighten out his hip problem!

Take Care

Update...

Hello Everyone

Well this summer has been a crazy one that's for sure....lots of fun and excitement with all the kids. Robbie is doing great he is so smart he is talking and counting. He can count to 7 and can say 10-15 words that everyone can understand. He loves his teacher's and is so excited to see them when they get here and cry's when they leave. His Austism testing has been scheduled for August 23rd @ North Bay. Fingers will be crossed that day.

This weekend we are going to the family cabin in Truckee. Last year Robbie didn't have a good time, but we are all thinking that it had something to do with the pressure in his ears. Last weekend we went to Reno and he did really good. So we are hoping that this year he is going to have so much fun playing in the creek and getting dirty and running around all over the place. Makes me tired just thinking about it, lol!!! Thank god family will be there to help me out!

Today we are going to try to go to Dillon Beach! The kids just love it there and it is something fun for all of us.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day of school, packing, shopping, Donating Blood @ the Annie's Homegrown Blood Drive set up by my BFF Tiffany, then Drive to Vacaville to pick up Karley's Friend so that they can go to the cabin.

Well got to go...Everyone have a great day!!!

Robbie Update

Robbie's surgery went really well. He is doing great. I am so proud of him, he doesnt have tutoring this week, something about funding not being approved yet. So his teachers wont be here until hopefully next week. I hate to have them not come he was just starting to get the hang of things.

As for today its Monday and Stacy Robbie and I are heading to SF today to pick up Robbie's big Sister Karley who is flying in from Germany. We are all so excited, time for a full house again.

Well got to get him ready to leave....

Love to all.

Tomorrow is the day...

Well tomorrow is Robbie's Surgery. I am so nervous!!! I know that he is going to be so much happier after but the whole thought of my baby having surgery just kills me.

On a positive note....Robbie's Tutoring sessions this past week are going really good. Robbie is really thriving, he is learning new words and even sign language. I am also learning sign language. So its been fun!!! Today is my meeting Laurie the case manager for Robbie at North Bay Regional Medical Center. We are going to discuss all the reports and set goals for Robbie. I feel so blessed that we even get the chance to use these programs.

Well Robbie is awake so I better get going, today is going to be a long day!

Surgery Is Scheduled....

Just a quick note that the surgery is going to be Thursday June 17th @ UCSF. His DR. thinks that he is going to make a full recovery with his hearing, which will help with the Speech Therapy!

Keep Fingers Crossed!

XOXO

Hello everyone Just a quick update...

Thursdays Therapy Appointment was great Robbie and his Speech Therapist Anne got along great. He really liked her for just meeting her. She sees lots of things to help our lil man on.

Tomorrow Monday is our Ear Nose and Throat Appointment @ UCSF. Hopefully we will get some good news about his ears. Tuesday is another day of Therapy Appointments, this is going to be with a Behaviorist that is going to help him with milestones.

So I will send an update tomorrow after we get home.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Wednesday.......

Robbie has been making great progress on his own the last few days, he has started saying P=Please and Thank You. He is so stinking cute. He really looks like he is trying to get the words out. He is eating a little better...He had chicken strips and french fries for lunch and then Cheese Pizza for Dinner, 2 of his favorites.

Today I was laying on the couch and Robbie came up to me and laid down in my arms and passed right out. We both fell asleep for a few hours. I just love that feeling. Tonight my mom came over and ate dinner with us and colored with Robbie. Its a great new activity that we do.

Tomorrow is Robbie's First Speech Therapy Appointment w/ Anne from North Bay Reg. Medical Center, I hope that everything goes smoothly....Next Monday we have our UCSF Appointment and then Tuesday we start Behavioral Therapy w/ Jodi. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
