Some of you may remember Lydia's battles with congestion in the past...when she gets it- she really gets it. She sounds like an adult snoring when she breathes. She is terribly uncomfortable and is now refusing to eat. Hopefully, her next feeding will be better. This time, it really came on all of a sudden...though her sisters have had a little stuffy nose for a couple of days. But a difference this time...she's running a little fever...100.5 degrees. I'll probably take her in to see Dr Wood tomorrow if she is still running fever. PLEASE pray that this bout with the congestion is short-lived...it usually lasts 2-3 weeks with her.
Phylis called today. Elise's lactic acid came back normal...that is great news! They still don't have the pyruvic acid results, but Dr Hollman predicts that it will be normal too. Phylis also said that she called the clinic Atlanta....she also had to leave a message. Hopefully, they will call one of us back soon.
News about Elise-
We visited the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation this morning to try out the language groups that they have...small groups of children with speech delays taught by a speech therapist with extra LSU student workers to assist...it is sort of like a preschool setting....they have story time, snack time, puzzles, outside play, etc. But, all activities are focused on getting the kids to communicate more. I was under the impression that I was visiting to consider bringing Elise there for the summer or fall. Well, as it turns out, she'll be starting there on Thursday. I am really excited for her...I think she'll really like it...she fit right in today. I saw a real difference between the way she responded with that group of kids and the way she interacted (or didn't interact) with the kids at her Mothers Day Out program. I think she was really intimidated by the fact that their speech and communication was on a completely different level than hers. I am a little sad about the fact that we'll have to leave Mother's Day Out...the programs are at the same time: Tues and Thurs mornings. However, this program is only 2 hours...9-11:00, but I think it will be worth it. I have loved the Mother's Day Out program where she was though...it is really top notch, and her teachers were very willing and attempted to modify their interaction with Elise to facilitate a better communication experience for her. However, they are not speech therapists, so they can only do what they are trained to do. We really loved her teachers, and gladly recommend their program to any one interested...Broadmoor Baptist.
Please pray that all of our girls will beat this congestion soon. Love to all!

You and your girls are always in my prayers. I just wish that you would get some breaks every now and then. Keep your head up high! Everything will work out!
My friend's little boy goes to that LSU class. His name is Gino.
Yes...Alise Viguet...right? I saw her there with him the other day, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her.
