Sarah Rise Weekly Updates

40 hours!!!! The girls now share a double wide bed (words they both love to say). I think this is helping Amy sleep a bit more soundly than when she is just on her own. One night they were both up for a bit in the middle of the night and for a change I… Read more »

This week we got 36 hrs and 45 min. It really seems to be true that something always changes or comes up so that my ideal planned week doesn’t quite occur as I thought it would. What is wonderful about the current plan and schedule is that we can still get amazing SR hours even… Read more »

This week we got 33 hours!! Sarah had a Reiki session a week ago when I was at work and this was K.’s report: “Sarah was demanding to interact with me – gooo Sarah-rise! She wanted to put together a puzzle, was insistent in asking for help when i would pause interacting with her, was… Read more »

This week we got 12 hours and 20 min. Cluster headaches…. not a significant problem, but not off my radar. Thank goodness for medication. I really am amazed at how many years I just suffered through all the pain. I have only had a couple this week and only one that I would designate as… Read more »

This week I decided it was vacation for SR as well so if we got time then we got time and if we didn’t that was ok too. Between Carl and myself we got 8 1/2 hrs. Overall this felt like a good decision to keep the time feeling relaxed but I also realized I… Read more »

This week we got 22 hrs and 45 min. It was a pretty amazing week overall with many beautiful moments in several sessions. We have started having her drink veggie/chicken or veggie/pork stock to help pave the way for GAPS when she will initially only be offered stock and soup made with pureed veggies. This… Read more »

This week we were just shy of 20 hours. Sonia was in MA for the Son-Rise Start-Up course, so the week was another reminder of my life before Sonia. Many things flowed very well, especially with the added help of C., my wonderful babysitter. Some days felt very hard. The laundry and dishes piled up,… Read more »

This week we got 30 hours! Woohoo! Goal met!!! On Tuesday Sonia and I attended a CPR/AED/First -Aid class. Some aspects of such classes can sometimes seem dull, rote, and repetitive. Not so much when I implemented my Sarah-Rise skills. I decided I could really enjoy the repetitive CPR practice and just being where I… Read more »

This week we got 25 hours. I had been so sure that once Sonia was here we would easily get 30 hours or more. The thing is, there are always days that volunteers can’t come or that Sonia or I don’t get our full time in. The reasons are always good reasons. And I still… Read more »

This week we got 16 hours, which is impressive given the Thanksgiving travel. 14 hours of that was in three days and then I did an hour on  Thurs and Fri while we were away. Sarah has always been an awesome traveler and this trip was no exception. She even did a great job staying… Read more »
