Update


Ricky at the Mingei

Hi everyone! I'm happy to report that Ricky has been doing much better since his course of IVs followed by oral antibiotics in July. He did develop a sinus infection this week, but it seems to be clearing up with the help of oral antibiotics.

Earlier this month, Ricky went to bipolar camp and had a great time. This time, he even tried the rock-climbing wall, zip line, and ropes course -- which he'd been afraid to do in previous years! Everyone at the camp had so many great things to say about him -- it was quite gratifying.

Ricky and his brother both started school this week and are settling back into the routine and doing well. Ricky is now in seventh grade (!) and has one period of elective (ceramics), a period of PE, and the rest of the day in the special day class. He loves every minute of it -- go figure! Can you believe he'll be 13 in November? A teenager!

I'm doing okay as a single mom. The kids don't seem to mind it, even though I spend part of every day running around like the proverbial chicken. Misty is having her first overnight visit with her dad this weekend, and she seemed excited about it. Guess we will see how it goes!

Thank you all for your continued support!

It's here in the Bay Area! When the notices come out about it -- I think in March of next year it'll happen -- I'll forward it on to you. I know it's a long way to come, but I bet he'd love it!!!
