No Change

Hello,
Well, Nan is up with the baby, and Neely came down for one night to spend Noveigh's birthday with her. They went to see the Wiggles, some absurdly irritating australian gay men who entertain children. However, kids love them and mothers find themselves singing their songs in the shower... I don't understand it, but I have a 7 yr old, and I find myself getting sucked into the rules of Yu-gi-oh, and getting excited when my son gets another Blue-eyed, crystal dragon card. So, I guess we are all victims of adolescent consumerism.

I did find some interesting information about Oleyen's condition - here is a link to a site if anyone would like to read more about it.
http://www.cherubs-cdh.org
This site has a lot of info and stories of other parents' struggles. What is apparent from these stories are 1) Oleyen has a severe case and 2) that doesn't effect her chances, as severe cases are known to pull through, while minor cases may submit early to the condition.
It's all individual.

Till tomorrow...
