Hi Carmen

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I just find it so bizarre that I would be

getting queasy now after 3 years.

I'm so sorry to hear Storm's upset. It's not easy for us to do what we do,

but to have our kids crying and showing suffering, makes this so much

harder. Thankfully Adam has fully accepted he has to take these needles.

He's not on any other medication (besides the liquid medicine, Clonozapam,

to help him sleep and he loves the taste) so I don't have to worry about

that. His greatest upset these past several months is the excessive bullying

at school. There is a gang of a few kids that are absolutely hellish to the

new kids.....I think Adam's small size just makes him an even easier target

but these kids run the roost on all the new kids and the school isn't doing

anything about it. It's been a rough year and I am just really bothered at

my personal reaction to these needles now. Makes no sense to me.

Will you guys be at the convention this summer? That's our plan to come

down, keeping fingers crossed that nothing happens between now and then!!

Hope we get a chance to meet up again.

Thanks again for the good words!!

Take care of yourself too. Storm is lucky to have you!
