catching up

Let's see, update:

Yesterday was Ellie's first day back at school since she got sick on the 9th. She was so excited to go back, and just wanted to be back in the classroom. While she did not make the full day, she did make it through half the day before she was to exhausted to continue on.

We are so glad that she is slowly getting better and able to be back in school where she wants to be.

All six kids have finally finished their eye exams and as it turns out, all 6 kids do need glasses. While the glasses are needed for reading and school work they have all been given the option to choose whether or not to wear glasses while they are playing outside or during recess.

We also discovered that Ellie's right optic nerve is different than her right optic nerve. At this point it is something to know about and monitor. It does not look like her different optic nerve has anything to do with any of her other congenital defects or chromosomal abnormalities. However, as she has proven several times already, just because things seem to be or not to be linked, does not mean that is true. So now we have one more thing to watch and follow to make sure her optic nerves do not change any more.

Well we just got news back on the car. The throttle body and plate have been cleaned up for now and the car is idling for now. However both need to be replaced ASAP. Also the fuel pump is not pushing gas through with enough pressure. The car running at 7lbs below what it should be.

At least so far the car is needing parts replaced as few at a time with each paycheck and not all at once...

However, we still have to get glasses for all 6 kids tomorrow...
