Susan spent the weekend with Colleen and Mark held down the fort at home with Aunt Edna's help. (------Thanks Aunt Edna, WE LOVE YOU)
Susan came home Friday night for dinner, went to the Stevenson football game, stayed fro the half-time show to see Gabe play with the Marching Spartans, and then left to return to Colleen's room at Mott.

Colleen is doing very well, with one unfortunate exception. She was doing well enough all week that the doctors were going to allow a sibling visit on Sunday. Sunday morning Colleen became ill and regurgitate. The visit was called off. (Frowny Face).

Sunday evening Susan returned exhausted and ready to shower. Mark exchanged information on the events and the schedule, then left for Mott and spent the night with Colleen.

[Side note: Edna, Carol (Mark's mom), and Donna (Susan's mom), while loving and devoted, are becoming quite worn out. With school starting, the volume of "activity" in our home will reduce between 8:30 and 4:00. Does anyone know of some church or service clubs looking to earn their badges, as it were? We could use help after school and at bedtime. Michael and Gabriel have been helpful this summer, but they are back at school now and both have challenging classes. Normally, Susan is here for homework help and Mark is her for bedtime help
4:00 - 6:00 is homework time
7:00 - 9:00 is the range of bedtimes.
Thanks]
