Macey is doing awesome. In 2011 two major things happened that have changed her life!! In February she brought home Joycie. Because of this sweet dog we were able to actually make it through a sleep study and now she sleeps with a CPAP machine and has been getting real sleep for the first time in her life. This has helped her energy level and attitude and Joycie has helped with her obedience and self confidence and she has been a much much easier little girl. She still has her days but don't we all!!!
Macey was on TV this last week and once she discovered she could see herself in the monitor she was all smiles! Didn't pay any attention to anything else except Joycie - it was pretty cute which was great because her mother was a little nervous and liked the attention off her :) We were doing a promo for the East Texas Down Syndrome Buddy Walk. Next year Macey is going to be the Ambassador for the Buddy Walk!!!
She is in forth grade and attends science, lunch, recess & PE w/ her peers and spends the rest of the time in a Lifeskills classroom with an absolutely AMAZING teacher! She's in a drama class for special needs kids and also attends AWANA at our church. Had a routine she likes as long as mommy sticks to it and is a happy happy girl (the majority of the time!).
