Is it almost Thanksgiving, REALLY??

Today, Olivia missed her 1st day since starting Kindergarten :( but it was necessary! Of course today was the school's Thanksgiving program, but we missed it. Because... She vomited around 8 times between 7am and 9am...doctor prescribed Omnicef for ear infection and bacterial infection/cold/sinus. We can give her Claratin w/prescription so hopefully feel ok for school tomorrow. She's doing alright in K so far, the ADHD meds help tremendously, per her teachers. Everyone's been great to work with at Grandin Court, and we are blessed to have such a good team on her IEP. She's started to attend the YMCA Magic Place after school for the last few weeks and Brian just picks her up when he gets off work. Anywho, things are going alright, we go back up to UVA on Dec. 12th for follow ups w/Dr Norwood and her new orthopedist. We've acquired the remaining funds to sign her up for their constraint therapy program, which we'll do in April, starting with her spring break week. So her new therapist is working on a few things to strengthen her wrist/fingers to prepare for that. Maddi is doing great in daycare at our church, and is just growing up so fast. She talks in sentences already and plays with Olivia like she's also in Kindergarten! :) love them baby girls! Brian's company should be back on track under new management by spring, everything is going through the court system now. We pray they will buy his press back and get him back to doing what he was hired for and give the employees raises after staying with them through all this! We really want to be able to buy a new house by spring/summer of next year. We've so totally outgrown this one! I can't wait! But trying to be patient.
