1. Storytime Adventure – Interactive Reading Fun! 📚✨

Turn reading into an adventure by adding sound effects, silly voices, or acting out parts of the story from the comfort of your couch or bed. Let your child be the storyteller sometimes and have fun making up alternate endings! This encourages imagination and strengthens your bond.

💡 Super Tip: Use audiobooks if reading aloud is tiring, and follow along together! 🎧📖

2. Indoor Sensory Play – Easy, Mess-Free Fun! 🎨👐

Create a simple sensory bin with rice, pasta, or kinetic sand and let your child explore textures while you guide them with prompts. Or try an easy no-mess painting activity by sealing paint in a ziplock bag and letting your child squish colors around with their fingers!

💡 Super Tip: If mobility is limited, set up the activity on a tray or lap desk for easy access.

I have MS? Definitely?? …(Continued from issue 21)

There I was pregnant, 27 years old, college graduate, married, homeowner with 2 dogs, the turn of the century had just happened, and the end of the world did not take place, or did it?

It was the spring of 1989. I was a junior in high school. I had just recovered from a sickness that resembled mononucleosis, you know, the “kissing disease”, but it wasn’t according to all the tests, that I had over Winter break.

I played varsity girls’ basketball, and we made it to the semi-finals when my life ended at 16-years-old. That was the first time I became a paraplegic and those 2 letters were introduced together to my parents but kept from me until I recovered.

MS was introduced to me when my parents sat me down at the kitchen table and handed me a pamphlet with those two letters blaring at me in a Bold RED font.

MS

Multiple Sclerosis, commonly called MS, is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. There is no test to prove if you have it and there is no known cure.

So what number am I up to? Oh Yeah…

Keep stress levels low because I am pregnant but…

First, I had the morning sickness which was stressful.

Second, there was all the talk of the world coming to an end due to Y2K.

Third, I was bleeding vaginally.

Fourth, MS made me a paraplegic.

Fifth, my heart rate went above 200 beats per minute.

Sixth, my husband had to be called back to the hospital because the doctors wanted to STOP MY HEART!!!!!

Seventh, my baby could die so we could save my life!

Eighth, why am I still in the hospital?

Ninth, complications for the baby just to do a test?

Tenth, waiting for the results from that radioactive isotope test!

Eleventh, what’s in the bag?

Twelfth, Oranges and needles?

Thirteenth, Do I have diabetes too?

Fourteenth, MS confirmed?

Fifteen, MS confirmed!!! How?

I have been “hiding” from those 2 letters since I saw that pamphlet back in 1989 when I was 16 years old.

The pamphlet said there is NO WAY to confirm diagnosis but a neurologist can review your records and based on things that may have occurred to the patient and MRI films showing plaques on the brain, dead nervous tissue to confirm diagnosis.

All these years I was able to “hide” from these 2 letters because “I looked so good”. If I didn’t say anything about it, it wasn’t real.

BUT now it was REAL!

Now I saw those letters WITHOUT the word Suspected which means that the doctors wrote definitely has MS on my medical records.

The Neurologist that I saw before I got pregnant said that IF I really have MS being pregnant would show no signs of having MS.

Boy, was he wrong!

I was using all the tools that a disabled person uses to live a “normal” life.

I had a shower chair. A walker to get around my house and a wheelchair to get around outside of my house.

OH yeah, and I used my parking pass so I could park close to the stores.

My life, although different, was not ending now.

I have a baby inside of me that is counting on me to protect it and allow it to grow to be a healthy person.

I will take the insulin shots 2 times a day and check my blood sugar levels 4 times a day, because I am a mom who loves her child.

I will use the tools that I have at my disposal to protect my body and the baby inside of it.

Now let’s focus on the baby. Just because mom is disabled doesn’t mean baby is going to be, or does it?

Back to that in the next newsletter…
