Standing on Your Own Two Feet

No news yet on Reagan. My mother and sister came home last night. Mom talked with my nephew, the baby's father, last night and he said the brain bleeding has stopped. We don't yet know about any brain damage. She's a fighter and continues to surprise the doctors.

Don has his Post Operative appointment in just a few minutes, so we'll be going to get him all checked out. He seems to be doing quite well - far better than I did, despite the fact that his surgery was much more extensive.

Deanna seems to be standing up for herself a little bit this year. I think she's finally just had enough of being mistreated by her female classmates. She chose to use a pencil case this year that's pink and has pictures of Disney princesses - Cinderella, Mulan, Ariel . . . you get the idea. So, yesterday, some of the girls gathered around her and said,

"You have a Princess pencil case? Why?" according to Deanna, in a very snotty tone of voice.

"Because I like Princesses," Deanna responded shortly.

They quickly responded with "Oh" and dispersed.

YAY! She's finally standing up for herself. I hope this continues.

It's shaping up to be a good school year after all.
