Well for us it's a heat wave. Just two weeks ago I could see my breath in the morning and today it will reach 81 F / 27 C.
There has been quite a bit going on. Gareth is studying for his exams
and attending Pegasus Theatre, Bronwyn received her red belt in Shaolin
Kung Fu (although traditionally they don't use a belt ranking system)
and playing football (soccer for you unenlightened) , Enya is attending
Pegasus Theatre, and lots has been going on with our Fiona.
Fiona just went on a two day school trip to Hill End. She said she had a lot of fun. She is also taking Hockey, that is Hockey NOT Ice Hockey, there is a difference. Most importantly we have been getting some progress done on Fiona's Growth Hormone Deficiency. A normal girl at her age should be producing 6 units of growth hormone. Our little Fiona only produces 2 units.

We had the Growth Hormone check done in April and then she had to have an MRI scan done. The first attempt did not go so well so we got another appointment and she was sedated for the scan. The scan showed that her pituitary gland is normal, no abnormal growths or tumours. Two weeks ago Fiona selected the
Easy Pod Growth Hormone Injection system.

Now we are getting the last of the paper work out of the way so Fiona can start her treatments. We will have a nurse come every night until Fiona feels secure enough to either let us give her the injections or for her to do it herself.
In other news Wendy has picked up a stray kitten and after waiting for her owners for several weeks we have decided to keep her. She has not been microchiped, no collar, and she has not been fixed. Wendy has named her Tessa and our older cat Bootsy is not thrilled at all.
