Update from Heather

I turned 13 last Friday. Last Wednesday me and my friends had a party to celebrate. It was so fun! My mom and dad gave me something every day from Monday to Friday the week of my birthday. I still haven’t got a cockatiel or chickens, but that’ll have to wait.:)

I don’t know if it feels different or not to be 13, I’ve never been a teen before. School will start on the 27 for me. I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to it or not. It’s school and no kid loves school, but it’s 8th grade and the 1st day is always the best.

 

Update on Jonathan

Well, Jonathan had a well checkup this week and he is doing great.  He has been having problems all summer with his allergies and has had to take three rounds of antibiotics for sinus infections.  However, this week, all was well.  In fact, he has picked up some weight in the last couple of months.  He weighed 52 pounds.  That’s the first time that he has gotten over 50 pounds and we are very happy.  Granted, this makes  it much harder for me to pick him up, but I’m just soo excited that he’s finally gaining some weight.

The Endocrinologist did have to up his dose of DDAVP (the med that helps him concentrate his urine properly).  I’m guessing that his added weight had something to do with this.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though as he has been eating like a little pig for several months now.

At the end of last school year we had withdrawn him from the school system, so come the beginning of school this year, he will just stay home with Heather and I.  Since Heather will be in 8th grade, I guess that’s what Jonathan will have to listen too 🙂  I sure hope he likes Algebra and Civics.
