This and That

1. My dad's treatment has officially NOT worked. So, he has slowly been declining. They are still seeing specialists and pursuing other things. We're trying not to think about worst case scenario. Trying very hard.

2. My Dad's mother, Gramma Deaf we'll call her, has been difficult lately (she had a stroke last year and now lives in a senior center here in town). It is causing my parents a lot of stress and heartache, which makes me sad.

3. Char Char still tells me its time to trick or treat every night when it gets dark. ::sigh::

4. The second x-ray for Char's constipation showed that he was "better but not all the way cleaned out". So that means another MONTH on his laxative meds.

EDIT: Just went to the doctor today for Char and she said he needs to go see a GI specialist in Fresno or LA!

5. Our van has been payed off for two months now and, woopsy, sounds like it might be having some problems. I should be grateful for repair costs as opposed to car payments, right? ::reciting mantra while crossing fingers::

6. Brains had the highest points in the school for an A.R. (advanced reading) program this quarter. He also got a 4.0 on his report card. He's sooper smawt.

7. Cracker is starting indoor soccer through the YMCA next week and guess who his coach is? His daddy!! I am so essited for both of them. Plus, it is sooo layed back, which is perfect for Cracker and easy for our family dinners, no?

8. We came up with a family cheer a couple of weeks ago for FHE and now that's all the kids want to do, all day long. Funnay!
