Blood Test, Jonas Brothers Concert, ELLIE, Etc

Most of the blood tests are in and are negative. Only one remains. We should hear on that one soon. Then we will talk to the doctors and figure out if we do anything differently moving forward. We will keep you posted.

Katie and Dan just walked in from the Jonas Brothers Concert. They had a great time. Katie is still really keyed up and says the concert was just "Awesome!" She has a big crush on Nick so we have heard a lot about Nick tonight. Interestingly, Dan also said it was a great concert and that the Jonas Brothers are both very talented and very entertaining. That is quite the compliment coming from Dan, who is more of an old school rock guy. I have only heard the name Jonas Brothers about 412 times in the 20 minutes that they have been back (Dan =6, Katie =406). It is great that they had such a great time. I am glad Katie got to do this after giving up her tickets to the Raleigh concert. She is quite a kid!

We also heard this week that Kyria and Terry from paws4people foundation will be bringing ELLIE down to Wilmington Aug 10-14 to finish up our "boot camp" training with her. The training will cover all that we missed when we had to leave WV. They will come back in Sept to help work with Amanda's therapists so that they will be better trained to utilize ELLIE effectively in Amanda's therapies. We are quite excited that they will all be in Wilmington so soon after our return.

We head to KKI tomorrow for a 4-5 hour morning appointment. After that, we head for Wilmington. We hope to get part way tomorrow and then get into Wilmington on Friday. It will be nice to be home. Everyone is looking forward to sleeping in their own bed. We will keep you posted on the events in the days ahead.

Have a blessed day,

Susan
