Brisan and Parker Stults | Living with Niemann-Pick Type C

Hi everyone! Been awhile since we updated everyone on how things have been rolling along. A couple months into having our new nursing agency, we've seemed to have found a great fit in our home with Brooklyn and Dana. This past week we've been allowed to have a total of 60 hours a week! We are both very excited about this! It will allow for flexibility in the schedule to be able to do things at “other” times.

Duncan

Duncanism

We created Mr. Duncan Stults his own website: www.Duncanism.me . The goal is to post his “Duncanism's” he gives us everyday! The problem already is… he has so many to choose from! I guess adding another site to the “update” list may not have been a good idea!

Duncan has been growing so much before our eyes. He has finally “standing like a big boy” while going #1. That sure makes our life a bit easier out in public using the restroom. The only problem is if he isn't tall enough to aim it, he may be dangerously close to touching “germ central”. Yuck! Jenn's also been working with him on his letters. He prefers to call them “numbers”. Maybe a future engineer?

Brisan & Parker

Brisan and Parker have been on a two week break from summer school. They continue to loose more of the little things everyday. We don't admit it to people only because we may not be able to see it or maybe we just don't want to think about it. Like Brisan, he has a hard time keeping his balance sitting up now. Always falling to his right/back side. Changing his diaper causes him to have a small dystonia attack mainly because he gets all worked up over us laying him down to do what we've down the almost last 8 years of his life.

Parker…. well… he is quite the stinker! “Stinky McStinkerson” is his current nickname added to the laundry list of alias's he goes by these days. His overall motor skills are very poor. One thing that has been good to see the last few months is that when we have him on the floor, he will raise up on his knees and try to “walk” a couple nubs. Then it is plant your face central onto the floor which is the sucky part for him! On one hand you are excited for him to have that freedom but that freedom is going to cause him a lot of pain because he can not catch his fall. The kid can never sit still. He can rotate 360 degrees by flopping around.
