the friday night before christmas week, we made a gingerbread house. we have never done one before, but we figured the kids would enjoy it.
we got it pretty much all done and decorated, and the roof started sliding off. so,we just let the kids eat some of it.

on sunday afternoon, grandma nevada came over to help luke decorate a HUGE gingerbread man. grandma got this for luke at trader joe’s.
luke is now a SUNBEAM. his first week of primary. WOW!
he made a crown
he even got a graduation certificate.
luke & sara
last thursday, luke had a preschool evaluation. i think it is called the eccel program or something like that. anyway, it’s a community preschool that you can either pay for or if your child has a developmental delay, you can qualify to have the government pay for it.
well, at the evaluation, there was a speech, occupational, and physical therapists, and a school psychologist. LUKE QUALIFIES!
we will have an IEP meeting on jan. 3 to discuss everything. about ten days later, luke can start school. he even gets to ride the school bus.
santa came to grandma nevada’s school the other day. so, we got dressed up and went to see him.
luke did very well this year. (the past three years, he has cried on santa’s lap) when asked what he wanted for christmas, he said a spongebob suitcase.
Sara would not go near him. (she was fine sitting on my lap next to santa) she finally warmed up a little, but would only wave to him from a distance.

We are not sure where the hair came from!
the the doctor called yesterday with the test results. he told me before that he wouldn’t have the EMG results yet, just MRI. but, guess what? he had both.
the EMG showed that his nerves are just fine.
the MRI showed that luke has a smaller cerebellum. the doctor thinks that is why his speech is delayed.
he wants to see luke in jan/feb for a follow up. (and of course would like to do more tests)
luke had an MRI and an EMG (electro myography) done today. yes, they put him to sleep. because of the anesthesia, he could not eat anything after 6 am or drink anything after 1o am. we had to be at the hospital by 11 am to check in.
his MRI was scheduled at noon, and his EMG was scheduled at 1. well, he didn’t get taken back til 12:45. we got taken back to the recovery room around 2:30.
jeff and i were given these when we checked in and luke got a bracelet.
when luke was shown the mask that he would wear to put him to sleep, he was given a bear with his own mask.
jeff got to go back with luke while they put him out. but, because i am pregnant, this is where i had to say goodbye.
in recovery…
luke was a good sport today. he woke up from the anesthesia really well.
