SHOUT OUT!

I want to give a shout out to a few organizations that have really served our family in amazing ways!

First, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.  We have been dealing with Children's since Jonah was 3 weeks old, and even before that with one of our foster babies. 

They are an amazing facility!  In the 10 years we have "visited" them, we have never, NOT ONCE, had anyone not be helpful, friendly, and respectful to us and our kiddos.  They go above and beyond to give our children the best medical care available.  

For Jonah, we have worked with Urology, Cardiology, ENT, Pulmonology, and Endocrinology.  

For Ben, we have worked with Cardiology and Endocrinology.  

In other words, we are quite frequent flyers to this facility, but we have always had an amazingly positive experiences.  Even to the point of yesterday, having a flat tire while at Ben's appointment- the Security department was super friendly and helpful!

Working hand in hand with Children's, we also want to give a shout out to our amazing pediatrician!  He is super and always willing to check on our boys anytime we need him!

Next, as mentioned above, we had a flat tire while at our appointment at Children's yesterday.  Praise the Lord for Roadside Assistance through our auto insurance State Farm!  After notifying hospital security that I was parked illegally, I got the ok to still bring Ben to his endocrine appointment.  While in the waiting room, I contacted State Farm Roadside Assistance online.  In LESS THAN 10 MINUTES, I had a service scheduled to come to the hospital in 50 minutes to put my spare tire on.  I was able to get through Ben's appointment and then walk back out to our van where the mechanic pulled up and put my spare on in FIVE MINUTES!  So super easy and convenient and nice!  Definitely worth the money we pay for that coverage.

And last, but certainly not least, a shout out to our school!  We have said this before, but we are so blessed to have amazing teachers and staff to help our boys.  They go above and beyond to make sure our boys have the best opportunities and best learning environment.  They care about our boys beyond just their education.   

On that note, the boys teachers are doing a 4 week trial with a speech device for Jonah because they are wondering if this might be a great help for Jonah in being able to communicate better with his peers and others in the community.  We are excited to see how this might work for our Jonah.  Here is a link to the company who makes the device:

What is a speech device?

This was fun post to write!  It's always tempting to complain about what isn't working out in our life, but it's far better to think about the positives!
