Congratulations to Rachel who got a double in her softball team's championship game. The Crush only lost 2 games all summer and won all their tournaments except one.
Sydney left yesterday.
Interesting
study confirming earlier studies that growth hormones can help in brain injury recovery. The conclusion that these test should be tried on humans is even more intriguing/hopeful.
Kathleen had a great birthday party today surrounded by her family and nearly 25 friends. She received many thoughtful presents and Samie, who was subdued and somewhat sad through much of the day, wrote her a poem entitled 'My Mommy'
Her name is Kathleen
With the nickname Bean
She is filled with love
From Toes to above
She is so smart
with an enormous heart!
I love her each day
She's the best mommy today!
Happy? Birthday Kathleen. Bean was able to throw caution to the wind today and have some diet coke...a soft drink she loved but rarely indulged in as she knew it was bad for her. In the end she probably should have indulged in all of her favorites as apparently caution and fitness matters little. Kathleen actually sipped and swallowed the diet coke today and appeared to enjoy it.
The Family will celebrate Kathleen and Sheila's birthday tomorrow afternoon. Michelle we are thinking about you and your family too.

Kathleen is coming up on her 4th birthday since the accident with no hope yet in site. The family is continuing to look for a live-in nanny to replace Trisha who returned home to Canada. The girls miss Trisha very much but are caught up on the softball circuit and basketball camps so they don't have much time to think about it right now.
