Hey Guys & Gals!

How goes it in tv.com land? I've been meaning to update you on things but......Alli spent last week keeping teachers children while the school got ready for the new year. Not hard work; but, it occupied her. She's had a few mini-panic attacks but only one major one. She is reading alot now--into Rick Riordon's series about Greek Mythology, some Meg Cabot and, of course, Manga comics. Her second Kempo cla$$ did not go well. She picked up a stomach bug somewhere and 15 min. into cla$$--she blew. She ran a low grade fever all day but I pushed the fluids and she seemed fine by Sunday.

Went to church yesterday and she actually sang a couple of songs and listened to the sermon. It's a definite improvement over the last couple of weeks. She is home by herself right now--I am at work--and I called and she sounded very happy and upbeat. We have an appt with the therapist today and another Kempo (Martial Arts) cla$$ tonight---hopefully she doesn't get sick again.

I think she is both excited and nervous about school starting but more excited. We went and got her new uniforms and she's gone up a size!!!!! Yeah! She has an appt with the Dr. on the 28th and he may add a new medication and stop 2 others. I am putting my faith in God and the doctors He has provided for us. I am still highly strung; but, I know there is nothing more I can do. The choices to turn the hard corner and face the problem is Alli's. I just keep asking the Lord to look after her and let her know he is there for her. Oh, she is now listening to Narnia on cd too.

Anywho, I just wanted to let you know that things are doing a little better. I just remind myself, baby steps! Please keep your warm wishes, thoughts and prayers coming. They really do help. I love you guys and reading you replies brightens my days. Thanks for being my friends and AIC. Sassy, I did this yellow just for you!

LOVE YOU!!!!

Susan
