Royals Game


We took Leah to the Royals game on Tuesday night. We weren't sure how she would deal with it and were prepared to leave before the game started if necessary but she did great. She had a great time and had plenty of junk food including ice cream. As you can see from the picture she enjoyed it. We stayed until the 7th inning and that was only because it was getting late. She would have been okay through the entire game. I am not sure why she can handle that well but going to the doctor's office and having one of the nurses speak to her causes a complete breakdown. She was okay when we got in the room and the nurse weighed her and took her temperature and left the room. She was sitting on the examining table coloring when another nurse came in to talk to her. She was very friendly and just wanted to say hi to her. When she left Leah started crying and refused to color or do anything. By the time the doctor came in she was having a good fit and we couldn't get her calmed down. It is hard to know what she can handle okay and what will set her off and why. Since we can't really communicate we can't talk about why she is upset. Hopefully soon she will be able to tell us why some things upset her so much. Our 13 year old daughter, Hannah, is doing a great job with her. She has been helping her write her letters and she had her repeating letters and words. Also, Leah is sleeping in Hannah's bed with her because she would not sleep anywhere else. We are very proud of Hannah for doing so much to take care of Leah.

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.

~ Psalms 143:8
