We are still waiting for communication from Brendan’s doctors. I believe that the cartilage removal procedure is still go for Sept. 21st, but I don’t know if they will attempt to decannulate. I am not even 100% sure about that date yet.
I am beyond frustrated that so few of my calls get returned. The people that are so helpful and do call are not the ones that can provide the answers.

Even so, we go on with our summer. Batman sometimes needs a little extra equipment.

Bill and I are trying one of these make-ahead-and-freeze meals plans. Twenty bags of dinner are going in to the deep freeze. They are all recipes that you thaw overnight, dump the bag in to crock pot in the morning and turn on. I am hoping it all works well, it will save a lot of time later.

These boys are getting so big! Today was a super special day for Trevor. I dropped him off for his first day of preschool! He is enrolled in a 2-day per week, 3.5 hour class at an awesome little private preschool. It should be just enough to help him work on his social skills. Right now there are only 4 other kids in his class, so he gets a lot of attention.

He was running around doing his “I’m a schoolboy” dance.

He was so excited to start school that he woke up really early this morning ready to go. He was amped about having other kids to play with. I dropped him off and he ran right in to the classroom and said, “bye Mommy! See you later!”

The report I got back at the end was good. I think he really had a good time; I also think he has a lot of adjustments to make for dealing with the new rules and environment. He has mixed feelings about how much he liked it. He is so sensitive (like his Mommy!). One of the things they do with the kids each year is they trace their bodies and paint the figure and cut it out and put it on the wall. Trevor liked being traced and he likes his cutout, but he was really upset that they got marker on his shorts and his leg.

The true test will be to see how he does when he gets dropped off on Thursday!
