okay, when is this week going to start again??

well Patti and Christina, I am so glad that my blog was of use for your "visit" yesterday... feel free to use it anytime you like ;0).

Kim, just a couple more weeks until the weekend away. I am so excited and so looking forward to it. Just watch....... life is going to try and keep us from going I just know it.

Andrew had another doctor appointment today, And there is good news and bad news. the good news is. the physical part of the brain is pretty much completely recovered. He is feeling better, and physically able to use the elliptical machine, and stay awake longer, and throw a football with his brothers.... and get on my nerves as only a 16 year old boy can. The bad news is............... the front part of his brain is healing much slower than they thought, and they need to look in other directions as to why this is happening. He goes tomorrow to be evaluated for a Vestibular rehabilitation program. there may have been some inner ear involvement with the head impact. Also they said....... " we cannot speed up the healing process from the concussion." UNDERSTAND Andrew IS getting better. 5 weeks ago, he couldn't walk a few steps without getting sick, 3 weeks ago, movement and reading made him sick. 2 weeks ago, he was able to move a little more without getting sick. 1 week ago. he could read 2 paragraphs of something without getting sick. This week. He is able to do the elliptical, and read a page or two before getting sick......... So there is improvement. But the boy needs to be able to do his school work. which i must say the Saltsburg School has been wonderful to work with, they are going to have a meeting with all of Andrews teachers on Thursday..... so they can work together and figure out a plan for Andrew. He has two tutors that come daily to help him... and they are looking into software that scans a text book, and then Andrew would be able to Listen to his assignments instead of reading them. the doctor would like him out of school until at least the end of November. The principal said maybe coming back after Christmas break would work for Andrew. Today driving through rush hour traffic, visiting the doctor, taking the "brain test" as Drew calls it, wore him out, he went to sleep before noon and is still sleeping 4 hours later.... this is NOT Andrew.

well enough of that. i should go eat one of my many many meals in a day. this Curves plan!!! I have chicken salad made with light mayo on a bed of veggies, i also have a meal of an apple and 3/4 oz of Cheddar cheese. and i have a meal of celery and flax seed peanut butter /no sugar to dip it in. which do i eat first??? oh decisions!!!!!!
