Botox for the Princess

Dasha had her first round of Botox last Friday. Yes, I said BOTOX! Botox is used in CP patient's muscles to help give them more flexibility. Dasha had about nine injections in each hamstring to help her loosen up. So far, so good! And man, her legs look good! :) I did ask the doc to send any Botox extras home in a doggie bag for me but he was stingy! Oh well! Seriously, Dasha has had good results so far with this procedure and we're scheduled to do it again in January if this is a major success. As for this picture, she'd been given a small dose of some type of sedative. Eric said that she was helpless. She was trying to play her GameBoy and couldn't even hold it! I couldn't tell if Eric was getting a kick out of her inebriated state or mortified at her resistance to succumbing to the drugs!

Air Show 2008

Grant, Eric, and Papa spent the last two weekends at Rome's airfield. The first weekend was an "oops" because someone forgot to check the dates. However, there were plenty of opportunities for some specialized tours of airplanes that I'm supposed to be in awe of although I surely don't know why. The second weekend wasn't quite as fun. Many of the exhibits that were supposed to "fly in" were delayed or diverted due to Ike. The boys managed to find plenty of things to keep them busy, though! The girls enjoyed their weekends at home with movies and shopping!
