Christmas has begun for me and Tori. :-)

Just a quick note to tell everybody that Christmas has begun for us! Yippee! We began visiting family today and I got all kinds of fun stuff. A baby doll that lights up and toys that make lots of noise. Tori of course got lots of my little pony stuff which made her very happy. Daddy is still shaking his head wondering where he is going to put all our new toys? Especially mine since he limits how many are accessible at night time for my safety and so as not to allow me to play all night long. I do need my sleep time too.... at least that is what he tells me. Well off to bed as I get to rest tomorrow before the presents start pouring in again. :-)

UPDATE...I am an Angel...but not deletion +. I am UBE3A.

Well folks, big update. I am not deletion +, but actually UBE3A. Poor daddy was so overwhelmed with the genetic specialists phone call at work yesterday that he got a wee bit confused. But he has it all straight now as I was sick yesterday afternoon and had to visit my pediatrician today.

While the pediatrician was making sure I did not have an infection because of my high fever last evening Daddy asked her for a copy of my results from the specialist to read. When we got home he shared it with grandma and my big sister Tori and that is when we found out that I am UBE3A. Oh well, all that matters is it is confirmed once and for all and life can go on as usual.

Anyway to stay on track, it turns out that there is a bug going around the county we live in and it causes high fevers. The good side is it only lasts about 24 hours so I am through the rough patch now and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I am starting to feel like my old self again. :-)

Daddy took really good care of me last night. He gave me cool tubby, some pear juice and my tylenol. Grandma rocked me for a bit then laid down with me and rubbed my forehead till I went off to sleep. I slept for over 9 hours! Can you believe that? I mean I know my sleep has been really good the past few weeks but 9 hours is a bit much for even me!

Now I am wondering what I missed out on last night? :-(

Daddy stayed home from work today with me. I even took a morning nap after a wee bit of breakfast. Yes, your reading correctly, a morning nap! The little girl who never naps took one this morning. But not to fret as I am feeling more like myself right now and I am thinking about getting into a little mischief. Gotta keep daddy on his toes now don't I?

I sure hope he got some rest last night just in case I decide to pull an all-nighter. You know we angels are really good at the all-nighter's and I cannot have one without inviting my daddy to join me.

Wishing you all good health tonight....xo

Diagnosis is in, I AM AN ANGEL!

Hi everyone. Just a quick note to let you all know Daddy received the phone call today and I AM AN ANGEL!

If daddy understood what the doctor tried to explain, I am deletion +. He was a bit taken back by the phone call at work today but that is how he recalls the genetic specialist explaining things to him. I guess paperwork is coming in the mail too just to confirm everything in writing.

So no more "clinical" after my name......I am the real deal. xoxoxo

Guess what Tori & Grandma did?

Tori & Grandma made an "angel proofed" tree this year! Yip, its all stuffed snowman heads so I can't get hurt playing with them. No hooks to fret about either. Tori was so pleased with herself. And at my house she made Daddy put an angel on top our tree in celebration of Angelman Syndrome and me. Is she not the coolest big sister?

I am gonna have daddy get a picture of our tree to grandma so you can see it too. Oh yeah, daddy took us to see the Christmas light display at the fairgrounds last night. Wow! I did not know there could be so many lights in one place. I think all those lights hypnotized us as we both fell asleep on the drive home and poor daddy had to carry both of us into the house last night and tuck us in. I can't believe I missed my tubby-time! That NEVER happened before. I guess there is a first time for everything isn't there? Sweet dreams....
