I filed an appeal for botox and won! Yeah! She goes in the last Friday of Feb. Here's hoping results are positive this time around! She's nervous about it. I explained that "in theory" it should help her walk better. She had to make sure that she will be able to run better too. She's okay with it now! Our favorite Dr Shafron is still doing it.
I swear Miss Hope has shot up another 3 inches! The pj's I bought her right before Christmas are now way to short! I can't keep up. Since she has been growing, she is really tight again. I'm hoping it will start to loosen up this week. I made a deal with her this week but I felt bad since she was so tight. I think I will make the deal again this week. If she walks all week, using whatever she wants to walk with, her and I will go to a movie on the weekend.
Her medicine is a God send! I don't know why I have been so against medicine for so long! I'm still against excessive meds, but this stuff is great! Just have to get the sleeping pills straightened out. She's still doing great in school. We had to cancel her reading test with the teacher last week. We are now doing it this Friday. Hope is reading to herself for fun! My inspiration! A learning disability, reading disability, physical disability and still pushes through it all. I don't have a clue how I am ever going to keep up with inspiring her! I think that's why it takes a village to raise her! I couldn't do it without all of our respite workers, hab workers and therapists!
This Saturday I will have a table at the Joni and Friends event in Tempe for the Lending Closet. I am so not a sales person! Not that I am selling anything, just to shy to walk up to strangers and start talking. I am breaking out of my shell though. I went out last night with my friend and a bunch of girls from my college class. I think it may become a regular thing. I had a blast! I'm still surprised that my legs aren't on fire from all of the dancing I did. I need to make sure they keep me away from the karaoke mic though!
I volunteered to talk in front of another 3 classes this month at Glendale College. The best part, it is 2 days before my 10 minute presentation in school. Good prep for that! I have my medical terminology final on Monday. We received our 6 quizzes back on Thursday to study from. I received 3 100's, 2 96's and a 95. Go me!!! It's nice to know that no life during the week is actually paying off! Now to pass my anatomy quiz this week! I start communications this week too. Ugh! I have a feeling I will be standing in front of the class a lot more than I would like to. They are grading our speaking ability starting this week and expect it to improve over the next 17 months. :(
Everyone around me is having a really rough time right now. For the first time in a long time, I am happy. As it turns out, happy looks really good on me! I haven't been hit on this much in a long time and I am breaking down my walls. Thank you Brandi for helping me knock them down! No Helen, Rachel and Uncle Jerry, still not dating. Still waiting for the white knight to knock me on my butt!
Well, that's all for now! Thank you everyone for your continued support! Love to you all!
