Mikey Is Back!
Back on May 10th, I had written about the problems we were having with our little man. We had to take him off his medication because it was effecting his liver so Mikey was getting out of control. So now we have some good news! Mikey is back! Those were the wonderful words that we [...]
A Mikey Update
Mikey had a blood test a little while ago and the result was that his ammonia levels were through the roof. This is very bad as it means his liver is unhappy. Why are his ammonia levels up? Probably because of the Depakote which means he has to come off of it. The problem is [...]
My Tooth!
Mikey got into a bit of a scrape with another boy (at least we assume it was a boy) in his class. This other student pushed Mikey and he came home with a bandage on his chin. What the nurse at his school didn’t notice was that Mikey also broke a tooth. So yesterday we [...]
The Rider Campus
The Rider University campus itself is actually nice. The image above is a map of the campus. You can click on it for a larger version. Here is the virtual tour. Beth’s dorm would be on the right side of the main loop and on the other side of the loop is the cafeteria and [...]
Rider University
We went to Rider University on Saturday for Beth to have another look. I think after the presentation at the Garden City Hotel a couple of weeks ago and seeing how far Oneonta was (and not being thrilled with the little town) she was certain that Rider was the college for her. Saturday was Admitted [...]
Another Absent Note
I think you would have let your child stay home, too! Re: Elizabeth absence December 11th and 12th To whom it may concern, Please excuse Beth for being absent last Thursday and Friday. We wanted her to go to school but she pulled out her handy six-shooter and told us she was taking a couple [...]
Really! She was busy!
Since Michel mentioned that there were other notes to Beth’s attendance office, I thought I would post another one as an example. I’m sure you will agree that they reflect an accurate portrayal of Beth’s busy life. This one was from the fall of 2008… Re: Elizabeth absence September 24th To whom it may concern, [...]
The Attendance Office
Apparently the attendance office at Beth’s school doesn’t have much of a sense of humor. Beth was out of school one day last week because she had a sore throat and was running a fever. No problem. I gave her a note to bring in to school so that she wouldn’t get a cut. Please [...]
News From Here
So I haven’t been blogging much but there has been a lot going on… First, work. We have been trying to get a major product in only one month late and so we have been going like crazy. I haven’t even had time to do my normal online newspaper browsing so I’m behind in what [...]
A Dollar Bill
Mikey can be very stubborn. Lately we had difficulty getting him to get on the bus. He would refuse to go out and when we drove him to school he would refuse to get out of the car. When we went to his Saturday recreation program he would also refuse to get out of the [...]
