Kate...Oh my goodness - worst Halloween ever for us! Kate started puking Sunday morning at breakfast (in a restaurant, of course) and we decided after the 4th round to go to the ER (she has mito and any dehydration is dangerous). Called our wonderful doc to let her know (I have her CELL number!) and she helped me figure out that we had Zofran. So a dose of that and we were able to go out for a short trick or treat. Or so we thought. Costume had disappeared. Quick and fruitless run to Party City to find another. Then convinced Kate to wear last year's, then found the new one in the bottom of the dress up bin. Whew! And she couldn't eat ANY candy b/c of the vomitting. Then spent a lot of the night up worrying over her low blood sugars. I can't wait to go to bed early tonight (after eating lots of candy).<br /><br />Looks like Max had a great time, a wonderful success for your family.Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-50923164946079706272010-11-01T16:50:28.745-04:002010-11-01T16:50:28.745-04:00That is one super amazing costume!

Your max is simply wonderful and the car wash was the best costume EVER! <br />I work with special needs kids- I'm the nurse that comes at night to watch them sleep so Mom and Dad can get some too. Nights are often hard, what with the cooler temps and the dark and the breathing problems or seizures or OCD tendencies that make having a light bulb burn out in the nightlight a catastrophic event... but it's what I do. I was asked just today how I can work with kids who may not be around as long as 'normal' kids ( not my words remember) and my answer was...<br />I am there for as long as they need me because they need me. When they don't need me anymore someone else will. <br />I have kids that are in their 20's and living in group homes and thriving and living full and productive lives.dawnhttp://dawneing.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-31347150505132826942010-11-01T12:22:02.758-04:002010-11-01T12:22:02.758-04:00Dude, I was FINE until I watched the video and the...Dude, I was FINE until I watched the video and then bam!

LOVE the car wash and all the great fun Max had with it! Our extra-special kiddo was a zebra this year. I pasted the link to my blog post on this comment, but since I am a complete computer-idiot, I make no promises that it works :o) Our other young kiddo was Medusa... complete with snakes in her hair and a little stone animal that she carried around telling people it was her pet until she got angry with it. The teens just browsed around in the costume box and went with their friends.
