Yes, I do but of course she knows more than I do. So it gets into
a fighting situation with her. She takes offense to anythign I say.

So much she requested they stop inviting me to his case conferences.
Which really was upsetting, I just try to stay out of the things so I
don't cause any trouble.

I am so sorry to read this donna.
She is in denial about his condition.

Thanks Bizi,
The hardest part is that my son doesn't exactly realize that part
of the things he sees with Will I'm sure are being created because
of the need to make him succeed. But that is okay will keep working
on it. I know he has his own issues I always have. But I need them
to realize its part of life to need to do things a different way sometimes.

She informed me and Derrick he isn't going to his mom's this year.
And probably not anymore. Unless his grandmother is going. WHich
is totally okay with me. I've known for a while it was safe or good for
him. She has always kind of made her girls do the work, and even when
he was with her had her middle one taking care of him. That was why
I pushed so hard for him to stay with Devin and us. It has been much
better. She tells him, he needs to take care of her now. Well he is
to young to do that. He needs to have fun, just like the girls did.

I guess the youngest is tired of it now. She is 14 going to be 15 in November, the theory is she is staying in Indiana this summer and then
in the fall going to school somewhere up here. Even though her mom
doesn't know yet. I guess her other grandparents or her dad are taking
her in. I know her mom's mom would. But it wouldn't be the best so
I hope it works out.

I know the now 18 year old just graduated from high school, she had
moved out about 3 years ago into a friends family home. And now has
a boyfriend, and has had a job since she was 16.

So she is in good shape too. So I'm proud of both these two. We couldn't
really help the oldest she was just not that easy to help.
Donna

I had noticed that you had not written about Will in a while. I'm so sorry for both you and Will that you have been shut out of his case conferences. Given your knowledge and experience with such matters, it's absolutely absurd. But you are always so understanding... about everything... (((HUGS)))

I hope everything works out for that side of the family

Right and it will we just have to take it a day at a time.

I'm hoping that I can work through enough to try
and get him some this summer again. His step mom
is having surgery next week so hopefully that will allow
me some time. We will see

Donna

By the way we will be at special olympics state games all weekend.

Please wish for us a rain free weekend. Or it to rain over night.

Donna

I will cross my fingers and toes for you that you get good weather this weekend. I know how much all the athletes look forward to competing

I hope that you get Will for a couple of days next week (((HUGS)))

Have a great weekend!
(((HUGS))))

How were the games?

The games were great. I've seen all the pictures.

We had a great time at the bowling, and Derrick and his partner got a bronze medal.

One of the other teams got an 4th place. And the other team got an Gold medal.

The ramp bowler got an gold medal too.

The track team seemed to do pretty good. From all the pictures.

And the one Weight lifter did good.

We went to tent town, and got Derrick's and another teammates new
shoes. Thankfully the unified teammates that walked with the athlletes in the walking club gave the teammates that didn't get to walk their credit
for new shoes. So the guys could get new shoes.

Both Derrick and Rachel really needed the shoes, and were really excited to get them they got The NW is that what is like Nikes.

Ugh, I can't remember the initials but the big brand name from Nikes.

And Derrick's old ones were so bad he threw them out at my hotel yesterday.
He stayed with me saturday night because he had problems at opening ceremonies and almost had a seizure and didn't want to have to worry about the dance. And the coaches having to worry about him.
