well, life is going to get interesting. seems that the economy has caused revisions in the current policy for residential treatment of adopted children. our funding runs out on may 21, so my son will return home without having made any significant headway in his treatment. he still refuses to talk, will not participate in therapy and has basically made the staff feel they're never going to make any headway, so they're giving up. he'll be coming home may 21. we'll still have weekly therapy, we'll have him in day treatment, we'll have some supports for dealing with him at home, but there isn't much you can do with a kid with such severe control issues. school will be over for the summer break in two weeks. so far i have a B in biology and an A in my history class, despite telling my prof she was a lazy jerk. and telling her boss about it. hopefully she'll never make the same mistakes and cause the same mayhem for her students in the future. the three other boys are doing fairly well in school, i am pleased with their progress this year and we're looking forward to a summer of racing at the drag strip, possibly even a trip to cedar point. on the health front, doc thinks i should be out of my cast on the left leg in about 6-8 weeks. i'm thrilled with that idea, but i'm concerned that i'm feeling differences in the bones in the right foot. my arch seems flatter, so i'm thinking it's time to look at a cast for stabilizing the right foot before it develops a rocker bottom like the left one did. i swear, i'm an orthopedic professor's dream, a continual teaching case! i'm finally off antibiotics after a year on them, so i'm looking to seriously boost my immune system. cub did take his vega racing last weekend. he's still having problems getting the fuel delivery just right, she bucks and snorts on takeoff so she's not hooking just right yet, but she's running low 13's on motor and just normal pump gas. he gets the right tuning and gets her to hook, he'll be doing great! i can't wait! hope you all are having a great start to the month, prayers and hugs to those who need them. stay safe, stay healthy and watch out for flu bugs!
