I suffered with a migraine all day Thursday, but when it came time to go to Cala's soccer game, I went anyway. It was such a good game of back and forth, but Cala's team whipped the other one - 8 to 2!!! Yay!!!

My inlaws arrive at 3 in the afternoon. We are all looking forward to them being here for the next two weeks. They are great people.

It's been rough living with Ethan the last few days. Having a son with a mental illness is not easy... not in the least, and yet, press on we must! I love my son sooo very much, just wish he could see that too. sigh....

This week- On Monday morning, I went to trade my C-Pap for a Bi-Pap. Let's see how the added oxygen does....

Seth and I went to lunch at Perkin's. It was a last minute decision as to where we were really going! He kept changing his mind! It was quite funny... first it was a pizza place, then it was Culver's (*a burger chain in the mid-west), then it was Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chinese buffet, he kept going back and forth on all the choices, and at long last... we ended up at Perkin's... he ordered pizza! ha

Seth and I then went to Target and Wal-mart where we finished his back to school shopping. I took Cala out last week to finish hers. Glenn and I together, will take Ethan out next week.

Tuesday- In the evening, we went to Cala's Soccer game. It was her team's first loss.

Wednesday- we have a full day! Two appointments in the morning, Cala starts physical therapy in the afternoon, church at night.

Thursday- we will spend getting things ready for the inlaw's arrival.

Friday- my inlaws get here from Florida. They'll be here two weeks. We can't wait!

We have had a couple of really rough days with Ethan. I spent the majority of today on the phone, trying to get help for him.

THEN, as soon as I hung up the phone with one office, our doctor's nurse called to say that results from x-rays done on Cala yesterday were in... She has been diagnosed with Scoliosis. We won't know which type, etc. for a few days. Please pray with us! Thanks.

Sleep Study Part Two

I am writing you from the hospital, where I am overnight for yet another sleep study. You may remember I had one back in April. I have been on a C-Pap machine since May but my oxygen levels are still too low, and so bi-pap looks like the way I will go. If this means a much better night's sleep, hallelujah!

Great news to me is--- we bought a new laptop today!!! (there are some great deals out there to be had right now!). Anyway, I will now be able to be back online! I am thrilled by this. Glenn is probably at home now setting it up as I speak.

We ate supper tonight at a Chinese restaurant... cute words heard by Ethan (age 6)-
"How does she (meaning the waitress) carry all those plates?"

I responded, "She has learned how. Waitresses learn how to do that."

Ethan: "Wow! I sure don't want to be Chinese when I grow up!"

Glenn assured him there was no chance of that. HA HAAAAAAAA
