Sibling Panel

On Tuesday I was on a panel for siblings of kids with special needs at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore MD. Me and some other siblings got in front of people studying to be Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and other people in that field and we would talk about are relationship with our sibling, challenges, how my relationships have been affected, what therapists were doing that I don't like, and many other topics. This is my second year doing the panel and I plan to do it next year for it is a lot of fun to show people what life is like from the view of a sibling of someone with special needs! Happy Almost Valentines Day!

2014 Olympics Training

It is that time of year again, the 2014 olympics Training is starting! The lunch was yesterday where all of the olympians meet officially starting it! This will be Robb's 3'rd year competing and we our hoping he will be able to do the unassisted swim, but either way Robb is exited to get back with the team!

Skiing

Robb used to hate ski trips because he had never been able to ski. He used to just stay cooped up in our hotel room with my mom while my younger brother, dad, and I went skiing. This year it was different! At timberline ski resort (where we stayed) their was Chris! Chris ran a program for challenged athletes and instead of just plain skiing he and his assitants took Robb down the hill on a chair with skis on it! Robb had a blast and loved every bit of it, riding on the chair lift, going down, and then doing it again! One thing is for sure, we are definitely going back next year!
