JoLinda is 22 years old today! She is so excited it's her birthday. She said last night, it will be the first birthday she will remember.

JoLinda is doing well, just getting over a cold. She is getting stronger all the time. We go for a couple of walks a day, and she is keeping a good pace, and is able to go 30 on one and 20 minutes on the other. Her Doctor appt. was yesterday. She was taken off of one medicine and started on two new medicines. We will see how those go and she see's the Doctor again in two weeks. She thought JoLinda looked really good, but still concerned about her anger outbursts, and not being able to get along with others.

The Doctor also had to remind me that this could all be permenant. That I needed to let go of my expectations for her. That is hard to do, when I want my daughter to be able to go to College, work, get married and have child, and live independently. I have to keep working toward that goal and the Doctor wants me too, but just be patient and see where JoLinda is able to get to.

Summer is coming, the boys will be out of school, and that means more people to be around JoLinda all day long. That concerns me greatly. I hope they will all get along. Otherwise it will be a long summer.

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. It was so good to hear from you who are still commenting on this blog. I hope Brady is still improving and doing well. Please let me know. I still pray for him and your family. I am glad to hear Curtis is doing well.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers in our behalf. JoLinda says Hi! I will write again soon. Love, Laurie
