I know it has been awhile since I have been blogged, but this is my busy time at work (500 grant requests to read) so my evenings,when I am not running have been me sitting on my butt, resting my eyes! Lots of good stuff this year, it will be another year of hard decisions.
Anyway, dance is going great for Alison. She is really pretty good, and the teachers are pleased. She went to her first dance team party, and got paired up with 2 middle school girls as her "buddies". They are very nice girls and Alison likes them a lot.
Cheerleading is going great. The girls learned their dance in 1 week, so now it is just polishing it up! The team is 3-2 now I think. But, the coaching of the cheer squad is STELLAR! The play/cheer calling is above and beyond!
Healthwise, Alison is so,so. She has a rotten cold and just is not gaining any weight. I am not sure what this will mean for her. Her next clinic appt. is tomorrow so I will post how that goes. My guess is they are going to start pressing us about reinserting the feeding tube. I think Doug and I will fight this for awhile because she seems so strong and is incredibly active. Just the other day, one of the latchkey teachers mentioned that she seems so much healthier than last spring. So, that was good to hear. I think it is hard for us to notice since we are with her everyday.
Abbi is having a great soccer season. She has played goalie twice so far this year, and has scored one goal on offense. She is really having fun. She will start her indoor season is just 3 weeks. We were invited back to Sweetfeet with Coach Heather and we could not be happier.
It is my hope to get her back in the water once Dolphin football season is over. I know she missed it - but we are just so busy right now that I could not add one more thing.
Doug and I have a date tonight. I cannot believe it. We have Blue Jackets tickets in the Nationwide Suite. It should be fun. Thanks to Jolene and Brenda for dealing with my children tonight and running CCD carpool and homework, etc. I owe you both!
That is all for now. I must get back to work and read more grants!!!!!! I will post about Alison's appt. tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that she gains something. Maybe I will stuff her pockets with rocks! Since the weather is changing she will have heavier clothes on too! :-D
OHHH! And the best news of ALL! The Browns WON! They beat the smelly Bengals!
Enjoy date night!!!
ReplyDeleteIt should be fun to watch the jackets in the suite.
I will cross my fingers that all goes well tomorrow.
