My cute little family

Hi guys!! Just new at this, but I thought I would give you an update on what's going on in the REES world. Family is good. Mike is in Minnesota right now... working. I'm home taking care of the kids and making sure they get to all of their recreational activities. Soccer, (Basketball just ended and it was FUN!) Violin, Dance, Scouts, Activity days, etc... Just had SEP conferences and my oldest son is amazing he took the National Iowa test and he scored in the top 10% in the nation in language and science. (I am so proud of him!!) Jacey is loving the spring air. She loves getting out and riding her bike, practicing for baseball tryouts, playing soccer and dancing. She is going to BYU for the music festival on March 29 to be judged on her violin. (She doesn't seem nervous, but I am!!) Remi is my little princess that enjoys mommy daughter dates. She is also playing soccer and dancing. Remi is going to be starting Violin in April too. Remi got a bike helmet for Easter and can't wait to ride her bike more and more. My little Taje got a bike for Easter (The Easter bunny really knew what to bring because Taje's Therapist have been asking me to get one for him.) Taje is doing so good... I am amazed that a little boy with only 3/4 of a brain can do so much. He seem just like a normal little boy, but just can't do physically all that he wants. We are suppose to go back up to Primary Children's on 3/28 for more Botox in his arm. Botox helps relax the muscle that is tightened so Taje can work the oposing muscle and gain strength. Bottom line we do not want his arm to contracture. We want as much flexibility as possible so later in life he can have full use of his arm. Recently we have found out that Botox is not approved for kids under 18 by the FDA and there has been deaths associated with Botox. I called and talked to Taje's doctor today and she stated she is aware of the concern, but the FDA has not proven that the causes of death was from Botox and all of the kids who have died has had multiple concerns, not just cerebral palsy. I don't know what to think... so a lot of prayers have gone into the decision as to... What to do???? Botox has been given for 17 years with no side effects, so please pray for my little guy. I am doing well!! I have a wonderful job working as a school nurse and I LOVE the kids. I have had an embarrassing moment recently (AT WORK), but I think I will save that moment for the next blog. Till next time.... Love the Rees Family
