Sad news

Juergen took Philip to the tests this morning. He did very badly. His memory is so poor it almost places him in the category of being mentally retarded. They recommended he go to the special school for learning delayed children. This particular Doctor does not atticipate finding a why for these problems. It is not typical of ADD or dyslexia. He does almost normal in some areas, but his memory is very very bad. Right now I know he can not make it in a normal school. I also know there are no other answers for him right now. I will continue to teach him after school, and detox him from Mercury, and begin acupuncture. I could move to the USA, but Juergen would not move. I could send Philip alone to the USA, but I don't think this is best either. I feel so much grief right now. I do not see another answer. For the time being, I'm afraid this is all we can do. Philip will have to ride the bus to the slow school. We have not told him yet. I'm just going to keep working with him all summer. Perhaps God will part the sea, and if he doesn't I will just have to trust him with this direction. He still has an EEG next week. He also gets his second round of DMSA next week. I will never stop believing God for a better future for Philip. I will not stop working with him, and fighting for his future. I am very sad...but I know God is in control. I feel his control and so I'm going to trust him to make something very good come out of this.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know you don't plan on sending him to the US but would it be different than say a boarding school? I hate that the doc doesn't think there is any why to it and doesn't seem like he wants to find out.?. I also know it would be very difficult attachment wise and familial wise to send him to live with his grandparents. I can't imagine how difficult this is for you guys right now.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
