Chloe’s appointment was pushed back until March 7th. This is just for the consult, then the procedure will be sometime in the future. My belief is that it was pushed because Chloe is supposed to get her swallow back all by herself. You should have seen how close she was the other night when I told her to just go ahead and swallow a fruit smoothie Colin made. She tried like a mountain climber going that last 10 feet to the summit. She was oh so close.<\/p>\n
We have some big guns rooting for her. The Dave Ramsey team keeps her in their meetings and, of course, their prayers. Then there is a former classmate who flies the Popes’ cargo jets. He meets with the Pope regularly and is always asked for an update on Chloe. This happened again last night. And, then there are all of you. What a team! That’s all I can say. Without you this could have been an entirely different story.<\/p>\n
We have modified Chloe’s school schedule as she still doesn’t get quality sleep. By the end of the week she was so tired that she was getting sick and having to come home early. So Dana figured out that Wednesday should be deleted to help her recuperate. Of course it didn’t work well the last week since she was already sick. Even with all the days she has missed she’s still a 3.6 student!<\/p>\n
Projects tend to wear her down. Last week she was to build the Eiffel Tower. After not knowing how she was going to be able to do it, I got her a kit and she and her dad put it together, painted it and made a base. It was the hit of the class. And then….. she found out she was only required to do a written report about it. HA… Well, she’s getting extra credit at least. We’re going to try and talk the teacher into accepting it in place of the King Tut exhibit she is supposed to “make.”<\/p>\n
Dana and I finally get to “go out” today. Well, it’s to a gig I’m playing but it’s something. We’ll go for the two hour dance and then I’ll make her dinner later. Stuffed peppers are always a hit. Lately we have both been seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and are trying to live each day with that in mind. It’s pretty bright. More on that later.<\/p>\n
Colin is really getting lessons on opening up. He has made some great strides in that area and things are starting to show. His dad has been taking the role of student\/teacher advocate. Colin’s grades have been teenager grades, all over the map. We are all just trying to level them out so he’ll decide college is a better route than the military. We know it will be his decision, but we want to make sure there are no regrets. All he needs to improve is his self worth. He has the brains for college and shouldn’t feel he has to settle for the Marines or something like that. <\/p>\n
Time to get this day started. Be well and have a great spring!<\/p>\n
