We FINALLY heard something!!!

So, it took contacting Dr. Superina's secretary to get an answer but it worked! He wants a needle biopsy done by Dr. Kim. BUT...Dr. Kim is gone next week. Dr. Superina said we can have it done by someone else. We said "No thanks. If you recommend and want Dr. Kim, then that's what we're going with." That means waiting another week, but at least there's a more definite plan. Tomorrow I am to hear from scheduling on the exact date. Phew!

Our neighborhood is still in shock from Tuesday morning's murder. So far, I can fall asleep at night, but I keep waking up in a panic. I don't think our one neighbor across the street is sleeping at all. That poor family. Their loss is so sudden and so tragic. My heart just aches for them.

Avery's allergy testing results came back showing she is NOT allergic to anything. We can try the peanut butter again in a few weeks and see how it goes. The nurse said sometimes hives can be a reaction to a virus (we've all been sick around here, but Avery has not come down with it) or stress (say, like Mommy, Daddy & Shelby disappearing off to Chicago for a few days) or who knows. Hives are very mysterious sometimes. Whatever caused it, we're glad they've settled down to just a few small ones on her face.

Riley's tooth infection is not bothering her anymore. The on-call pediatrician ordered a different antibiotic for her and Scott ran to a 24-hour pharmacy to pick it up. She's wanting to read the entire Harry Potter series over again.

Shelby...is just Shelby. Fantastic about her PICC line and as energetic as ever. Every day she doesn't want to go to school, but comes bouncing out and has had the "best day ever" each day.

Scott is rockin' his classes. He's still 1st in his A & P class and managed to get a 100% on the test he had to make up because he missed it when we were in Chicago. Despite all the stress here, he is studying hard. I'm so proud of him. I guess in his CNA classes his classmates call him the valedictorian - he, he!

That's all for today...
