A lot has happened since that last post of Katy walking in the water:

I’ve found myself dealing with stresses and problems I’ve been trying to maneuver around for five years. And unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation that has gotten thrown around for far too long. I have no interest in airing my dirty laundry to the world, but I have decided that this needs to get taken care of head on. I just hope I’m strong enough to deal with whatever falls out from this.

We found out our entire Mayo Clinic appointment was canceled. Evidently, the doctors within the Pediatric Developmental Delay department relocated and somehow that voided our entire visit. Thank God I called to find out why we still hadn’t been contacted. They evidently sent us a letter, but we never received it (and believe me, any letter that said Mayo Clinic would have been opened immediately).  So after another bout of massive frustration, I went back and redid the entire application again. Now we finally have our dates: October 18 through 23. In fact, a package just arrived yesterday for us to have Katy’s genetic test redone. The test has improved drastically in the last two years and they want to find out if anything is different than what we were originally told.

We were featured on exceptionalfamilytv.com in two separate episodes: 1st was Michele and I; 2nd features Maggie and Bryan (okay, limited Bryan – he hated being on camera here).

Katy was also featured in the August issue of Exceptional Parent Magazine. I’ve put up the articles in the media section of this site. For the full magazine, visit: http://www.eparentdigital.com/nxtbooks/exceptionalparent/201008/

And, throughout all of this, Katy has continued to grow stronger and achieve more and more. The video below shows the kinds of things we’re dealing with now on a daily basis:
