But Saturday afternoon she and my wife did a little bit of reading on the internet and when they were done she turned to my wife and said "Don't worry mom. I'm going to be just fine."

We will learn from her strength.

That courage and attitude will serve her well in life.

To give you an update, DW is able to chaperone oldest dd for her Washington DC school trip. I know lots of kids go every year without a parent from here and everything goes well, but I just feel safer with DW being there. Thanks for the prayers.

Good news. I'm sure you'll sleep better knowing DW is there.

Good to hear Norm. You have my number, if they need anything while there.

Yes, I do and will use it if needed. From what I have been told, they rent out all the rooms on one floor of a hotel and hire security to stay at the stair exit(s) and elevator(s) and children are not allowed outside their rooms. And, other guests aren't permitted on their floor. Again, makes me feel better, but I am still glad DW will be there. And, I'm glad to know someone else nearby if needed.

Just an update to let you all know that it took about six weeks but we had a truly dedicated doctor and a great HR staffer at my work who have been dogging the insurance company for the past six weeks and we just found out today that they have finally approved payment on DD's medications for the next 6 months. We will have to fight them again, but it is a start. She has been responding very well to the last six weeks of what they had approved and I am becoming an expert in at-home injections. We will start the taper and swap out from the stop-gap drugs to the main drugs this weekend.

SO... while we are all celebrating THANKSgiving tomorrow I will be a little extra thankful for the great medical care and solid insurance coverage (even if we have to fight them) that is keeping my daughter with us this year! (Well, that and the fact we have a bit over three weeks on our next trip countdown.

)

That is good news this Thanksgiving.

Another update. My Inlaws, who had th house fire, were able to move back in their house for Thanksgiving. They didn't cook there as they travelled to other family members, but they were thankful to be back home. Thanks for the prayers.

Good news...our neighbor next to the vacation home (

) called and said that the power company was through and cut down a tree that I had wanted removed for about the last 9 years. Glad it was hanging over the wires. Saved me over $1500 if I don't get a bill for it.

Hooe they don't send you in a bill in the mail. But, at least the tree is gone.
