WOW! We got a Tricycle on the way! HURRAY!
 

Remember how I was trying to get a trike for Jackie? Well I got one ordered from Walmart from the MyGym charity Challenged America! They approved our request for assistance! I am so excited we got one!

HURRAY for Jackie! You should have seen him at the pool today, it was awesome he was swimming like a little fish and jumping off the diving board-the first time he panicked a bit but Jack there reminding him to swim in ten feet of water helped and he held his hand out to Jackie to encourage him to make the two foot swim over to the ladder. This other pool we went to still reaches capacity, but if we get there early enough it'll be fine. :D

Wow I feel so much better today then I did yesterday, amazing what scoring some help towards getting Jackie in better physical shape can do! :D Now to see if I won the Def Leppard contest! That comes Friday! :D

Dear Pam,
That is some serious good news!
I'm happy about the trike and the pool and about your contest.
Wow. I bet it was great watching Jack and Jackie at the pool together.

Mari

That's such good news about the bike Pam. :hug: Now we have to wait for the good news on the contest ;)

Thanks Mari! Thanks BJ! I am so excited! I just have a good feeling about the contest, we'll have to see how it goes. The trike is the best news I've gotten this year to be honest. ;) I can hardly wait to see him having fun on it, Jack will probably enjoy putting it together too. :D

They were a sight today swimming together. :D We'll be going back and probably buying a pass too. :D

That's great news, Pamster! Nice looking bike. So happy for you! :hug:

BTW, your lil turtle sure has grown!

oh pammie!!!!
that is the best news today!!!!!:yahoo:
I am so happy for you and a pool pass sounds worth it, sounds like a lot of fun for your whole family!
I am happy for you.

OMG Twinkletoes, you're not kidding! I will have to get my butt in gear and shoot some pics of him now. He's HUGE! We got a bigger tank too because he was just too big for the ten gallon one anymore. I showed Jackie the bike and he went "Race? Motorcycle?" And I said, "No, bicycle, but it will be your bicycle Jackie." And he was excited at that. :D

I couldn't agree more Beth, it is the best news I've had in a long time, the lady called and left a message while we were at the pool, she wanted to give me the good news in person, AND get this, they will be sending a formal congratulations letter with a release for us to sign if we don't mind Jackie's story being used for fundraising purposes, I say GO FOR IT! I will even get some pics of him on it and send them off to her once Jack has it all assembled. Luckily he is handy with stuff like that so it's not going to be a big deal. :D

I am so happy today! :D

Pam

I'm so happy for Jackie. ANd I'm so glad you never give up.

Donna

Yup! If you give up you never get your dreams reached. I might not be writing anymore but I haven't given up on that dream either. :D Thanks so much everyone for your support! :D

Pam

In some ways this dream is much more rewarding to achieve. Its giving your son something he really wants and can use now. Your doing something
for him. And its something he can keep for life.

I think that when you start writing again. You should consider doing short stories or something for special needs.

Tell them what its like being the mom, and having to find things for him.
And especially with you having your own disabilities.

It would be a inspiration positively.
