In Case you were wondering II

Yes Peter is returning to Military School for the 2014-15 school year.  As in similar fashion to last year, with only two weeks until Peter starts school, the money for this years tuition has shown up.  I am extremely grateful to the school and individual friends and family who have contributed.  And once again I am also in awe of God's provision of something that always seems so out of reach.

Larry is doing well.  Hey has recently traded in his nightly DVD watching for Hide and Seek books.  He is even checking off the found ones with a pencil.  Holding a pencil and maneuvering it is big progress for Larry. For the most part he seems happy.  Just last week I had two staff members tell me how much they loved my brother.  Knowing he is loved where he is makes it all so much easier to leave him at the end of a visit.  Some progress with the finances has been made but there is still hoops that need to be successfully passed through.

Recently Mom and I were quite concerned about my Dad.  He was struggling with health, energy and memory in a very significant and noticeable way.  The last two weeks he had a variety of doctor's appointments.  In this process a couple of medications were removed with another decreased.  This week, the "old" Dad emerged. He has taken on projects he wouldn't have considered last week and is not showing the memory problems either.  Wow. So it looks like maybe what was going on was related to being over medicated.  For those who have heard of my concern for my Dad, you know that this is a real relief.  We are hopeful that the renewed Dad will continue through future medication adjustments.
