After a great weekend at my grandparent’s house  it was time for me to get back to work! I had my first workout with Carole my Austin PT! It has been a year since she last saw me and she could not get over how big I am! She was pretty impressed with my head strength and how I keep my hands relaxed. I did really good during my session and will be coming back tomorrow to work out again. Carole wants me to concentrate on my head strength and standing! Everyone wants me up on my feet! I dont really mind it so much either. I am getting the hang of it! We have a busy week!

Hi

We made it to San Jose with no problems! It has been raining so much here! We are all looking forward to seeing the sunshine in Texas! We arrived at our good friend Diego’s house in San Jose.  Diego, Rosy, and Ariana were kind enough to let us stay with them! My mom went to check us in on line for our flight out the next morning and noticed that her passport was expired! Uh oh. This did pose quite a problem, as our flight was out the next morning. As it turned out my dad and I had to fly solo together to Texas. We sure did have alot of stuff to carry with us! You know I have alot of items I have to take with me! My mom said goodbye to us the next morning and she went straight to the embassy. She was able to get a passport and unbelievably she caught the next flight out at 2pm!

I was very kind to my dad. I knew he was really nervous flying with me alone and not having my mom around to help so I did not give him too much trouble! Dad, I have to tell ya, you did a great job! He had help from the nice flight attendant so that he could get my car seat in the airplane seat. He gave me lunch on the plane and we had no problems clearing customs and immigration! Whew, we made it to Texas and mom was right behind us! I dont think she will let that happen again!

Cant wait to see George and Grace! We are staying with them for a few days before heading to my grandma and grandpa’s house in Lockhart!

Only 9 more days before I am on a jet plane! I am looking forward to my big party! I cant wait to see everyone again! We are getting packed up this week! I have alot of stuff to take with me! Cant wait to see all my family and friends! Hasta Pronto! Malia 🙂

Hola!

Last week, Curtis from Evangeline cafe came to Costa Rica for his week vacation! Last year at the auction, he bought a week stay at my Aunt Holly’s beautiful house in Costa Rica. You may remember Curtis he donated all the food for the volunteers! From what everyone told me it was awesome!!!

Curtis came with some buddies from Austin! They came by to visit us and take a walk in the gardens. It just so happens one of his friends is playing for me at my benefit. His name is Greg and he plays in the band Los Pistoles! My dad’s guitar was out and Greg decided to pick it up and play for me! Wow, I have never been seranaded to like that before! I loved watching him play! I was dancing in my seat. I kept kicking my legs and moving my hands and was really enjoying the beat! He said I had good rythym. I cant wait to see him again at my party! My mom was teasing me that I had a crush on him the way I kept staring at him! Geez, mom I am too young for that yet! ha!

Thanks for coming to visit me Curtis, Greg, Beth and Karen I had a great time with you all!!

Love Malia

We left last Sunday to head to San Jose to meet with my new physical therapist and take Tio Jack to the airport! I was measured for my stander and new high chair Geovanny is making me! He is quite an amazing guy! Not only does he get me to move my body and do things I have never done before he is a special needs carpenter as well! I had two days of workout with him and boy did he ever work me out! 

We spent the week in San Jose as I had to get my gtube button changed out for a new one! I was real proud of my mom. She told the doctor she wanted to change the button so he let her and stood by her side and coached her on how to take out my old button and put my new one in! She did a great job, and I was not bothered by the change at all!  I am good to go hopefully for another six months! When you live in the jungle you dont want to have a blow out on your button and not have your parents know how to put a new one in! 😉

After the button change I had to get blood drawn for a bunch of test for the neuro I will see at Dell’s Children’s Hospital. On a good note, my veins are getting a little bigger and they dont have to stick me so much now! Matter of fact, Maureen the nurse who draws my blood can get it the first try! She is awesome!

We are getting excited about going home! Soon we will have my party! Yeah! Cant wait!
Love to all,
Malia
