Howdy

Well, rare disease day came and went, we didn't celebrate.

Makenna is doing awesome! Healthy once again. We had a big pow-wow at school last week to plan Makenna's inclusion in Kindergarten next year. The school system is planning good things. I guess I didn't really know what the meeting was to be, as it turned out they wanted our input and it all seemed so serious. I went to college with less planning and fewer people knowing I was coming, me included until the last week or so, honest. It is very surreal. Every step is good, but every step is too difficult to describe. I have a photo of my brother and me heading to kindergarten on our first day: we had our mats under one arm , a box of crayons in the other hand and our hair slicked down. (I haven't looked at the photo for a while but it was either a box of 8 or a box of 16, I suppose the "snooty kids" had 32? I don't know if they had 64 or 128 colors then?) Things have really changed, for the population in general, and for parents of special needs kids especially. I am trying to adapt, Makenna is worth it.
