The Surprise Poster

My daughter had an incremental visit with her glaucoma specialist today at the Duke Eye Center.   They were running behind in a pretty significant way, so my husband was walking around the halls with my daughter.   He sent me this picture with the caption, 'Look what I just found."

The Strength Hope and Caring award, with some of the words I'd written about the care my daughter received at Duke was right there on the wall in front of my husband and daughter.   When he sent it to me I cried.   I sent the picture to Dr. Prakalapakorn and told her we'd just seen this and how much I still remember those times in a positive light, even though they were scary for us all.  

The Big Boy Update:  My son is coming home and staying inside lately.   There are some friends coming over but for some reason, he doesn't want to play with them.   I haven't figured it out yet. 

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter is still doing the screaming, I'm hurt, cry when she and her brother get into it while playing.   Typically he's done but she keeps wanting to play.   They do something like both hit or kick each other but she acts like she's injured.   We're starting to get on to her though, realizing it's an equal thing, she's just making a big fuss, trying to get her brother in trouble.   And it's worked too.   We're trying to correct that.
