Sept & Jr. High Updates!

 

We are so AWESOME at updating this blog!! Sorry.... I've also been a little hesitant at doing an update cuz I don't want to jinks anything! :)

Cheyanne is doing great. Sept. 20th was her last dose of Depakote. I am AMAZED at the difference in her! She is able to remember things, socialise more closely to age level and she is understanding things easier! We don't know if it is completely the Depakote or if something has just "clicked". Either way we are super thrilled!!

She is adapting and loving Jr. High. Her teacher is pushing her to catch up to the rest of the kids in her class. She has 6 A's and 1 B+ that she has pulled up from a D (which she earned by saying "I can't!" & "It's too hard" in her reading). YEA FOR TEACHERS!

Her Saizen shots are doing well and she is doing so  great with them! She decided that she wanted to do them herself and she is doing really well at it. She is growing steadily at about 2 cm a month. We have gotten the extra exciting privilege to discuss puberty and changing into womanhood.... this is extremely hard for someone to understand when you don't understand basic relationships (like 2 equals 1+1)

We are still lucky enough to be physical seizure free! There are times when I can still look at her in her eyes and can tell that something is going on in there but that it has nothing to do with the room she is standing in. She is such an amazing person and I hope that someday soon my phone will be ringing of the hook with calls from girls her age. ..... Of course I say this having NO experience with teenage girls and phones these days..... I may be retracting that statement when it happens.....
