Fore!

The SPU Golf Tournament is today, and I see out the window that it's pouring down golf balls. I guess that's why they carry those big umbrellas, and I'm sure we'll have a great time in spite of the rain. Kudos to Alexandra, Allyson, Meredith and Sara for all their leadership, teamwork, and organization in bringing it all together. I know many families at Children's Hospital will be blessed through the generosity of the participants. Thank You All!!

We are going to wrap Annie up in a big blanket and drive down to the golf club soon, so I'll make this short. We had a good week as far as physical progress: she was up on all fours at least 5 different times for about 15-30 seconds each at her OT appointment on Thursday. Getting up on hands and knees was a major milestone. Hooray!

She also is following commands more--she was playing with a spinning noisey toy with her hands, and when it got out of her reach, I told her she could still play with it with her feet. So she spun it with her toes. When she pushed it too far to reach it, I told her that if she scooted closer to it, she could still get it. She almost imperceptably scooted forward, and then was able to spin it again with her toes. She's just a regular smarty-pants.

The downside this week has been her insomnia, and her frequent--at least 10 a day--seizures. The doctor is ordering another EEG to try to figure out the next steps. I would appreciate your prayers about that--that she would sleep, and that her seizures would stop!

Thanks!

Jean
