83%

I don't know hoe it works in other countries, but in Portugal you can have a "degree of disability" when you are born, or acquired, some kind of incapacity.

Isabel has a 83% degree of disability for her visual impairment. 6/500 visual acuity in a single eye

It is what it is. This is only important for taxes purpuses. And I can tell you that the nassociantion of low vision in children said Isabel was a "visual" child. That she was fine, and uses all her vision, no matter how low it is.
Now we have to stimulate her


Back to school


I started this journey in 2008 to finish in 2010. Isabel was born in 09/09/09 at the beginning of the 2nd year and I had to stop for a while. Restarted in May 2010, then stopped again, and I'm restarting (again) this month.
After this term I still have the September term to finish but I'm not giving up.

I love my classes, I'm exhausted and very happy.

Christmas 2010

What's new?

Christmas was fine, but chaotic. I should have more days. Is simple exhausting.
Isabel had a kind of inflammation in the lungs. Nothing serious, but enough to make her vomit every day. Now we're eating a little better. And

... WE EAT FRUIT :)

The bad news is that something is bothering us, and we don't sleep so well at night (very bad nights)
I'm going back to school. I'll try to finish my MBA. Then we'll see. I have to find something compatible with Isabel.

Today we when to get Isabel's degree of impairment. Even though I hate it, I believe is important to have all the benefits to give Isabel everything she needs.

So, as you can see, we're fine.

Some people might think that we have a bad impression about 2010, but to tell you the truth we don't. I was talking with my husband, and, even though it had some very difficult moments, it had its good moments. My kids are growing, and they are the best kids in the world (well, today the misbehave). I like being back home and having my husband around (at least some days - he works far from home 2 to 4 days a week).
We've learn to appreciate the moments we have together and we enjoys every moment.
Some days seam like those first dates that your heart beets faster and faster.

Nevertheless, 2011 I'm expecting very nice things. Counting on you...

Happy New Year

:)

A great year to you all. I know mine Will.
