Aislinn’s Treasures-Making a living

Aislinn’s Treasures-Making a living

Life never seems to amaze me.  So far 2015 has been a filled with positive things.  Aislinn’s liver enzymes (ALT and AST) are back to normal after being several times higher than the norm.  Another surprising benefit is that her heart rate has been lowered and her oxygen saturation has been raised since removing Dilantin as her daily seizure medication.  Truth be told, Dilantin ended up being very hard on Aislinn’s little body. 

Too high! 

 

The culprit!  

Hooray PulseOx is in normal range!

Major adjustments had to be made to her seating system.    Adjustments included a new custom molded saddle and back support.  All parts were elongated to accommodate a large growing spurt.  All in a day’s work when caring for my beauty!

I am a big girl now!

We just rocked an Individual Education Plan.  It may have been the best one yet! 

The beginning of the year also brings an opportunity to thank the many kind souls who helped close out a very difficult year for Aislinn.  I am grateful that my blogs have reached Virginia, Pennsylvania, overseas to the UK, and Sweden!  Recently I learned that my blogs touched the hearts of the employees of Distribution Systems, Inc. (DSI).  Their philosophy is: “We are committed to helping businesses growth.”    

I am humbled the generosity of the business leaders of DSI such as Jim Stover, Tim McCain, Wally Peterson, and Bruce Fear.  These men gave to Miracles for Mito in honor of Aislinn.  How cool is that!?!  Seems to me DSI also helps non-profit organizations succeed!  Your gift helps families with items not covered by insurance such as an adaptive bike, a staircase chair, joint ventures for adaptive toys, assistance for a vehicle or its modifications, and much much more!

 

Life never ceases to amaze me.  I believe the following quote says it all.  “You make a living by what you make and a life by what you giving!” –Tim McCain.

Blessings to all reading my blogs and supporting organizations for children and adults in need!  

Much love, Michelle Voss-Shelley (Mom to eight year old Aislinn living with a diseased GRIN1 gene)
