Marlyn,
That is so funny! I never thought of it that way. Thanks for the laugh.

<t>Well, we just found out that Daniel's next appointment with the neurologist is tomorrow. That is when his doctor is going to analyze the scans we had done on Monday, figure out exactly what the extent of the damage is, and tell us where to go from there. I'm so nervous, but also very anxious to g...

However, because I am currently a SAHM, I am the one doing 95% of the "work" (driving Daniel to appointments, ma...

Jeanne,
We won't be in Houston on the 9th, but I wanted to wish you and Alyssa good luck! Let us know how everything goes.

<t>I'm sorry he's having such a rough time =( If he is struggling, though, I'd let him stay back and go at his own place. Maybe it would be better for him to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. I'm sure he's a bright little boy who needs some time to catch up. My husband w...
