Halloween was a success in Brodie's opinion. He counted his treats today, and the total came to 140. Then he divided his treats into two piles. One for himself and one to give away. I was surprised that he was so generous, almost half his treats went into the pile to give away (I wanted to sneak some back into my own private stash, but I restrained myself).
His school sends the 'unwanted' treats to a local Dentist office, which then donates $2 per pound of candy to Unicef. I'm not sure what they do with all the candy, somebody said they might send it to a shelter in the city.
Hope had a lovely weekend. We saw some nice smiles and enjoyed some little coo's in between seizures. Her smiles are lopsided, her movements are very spastic and she has a strong right sided preference (head and eyes constantly to the right), but at least she's out of the 'comatose' phase that we were treated to last week. I hope she gets a little closer to her 'normal' self still.

Like the photo of your men, Jolene. Cute that Brodie divided the candy, that's special of him. Reminds me of our girls, and their mother always wanting the Coffee Crisps. I would snaffle the odd one from their stash, and they usually noticed. LOL. Love Madelaine

Jolene,
I've been thinking about you and your family often lately, and so have been glad to find your blog. Praying for your beautiful girls, Brodie's eye, and strength for you and Alex!

Hey, I don't see a picture of your costume.....How are things going? Someday we will meet up. We are on CH4 now....not fun....Don't like it there.
hi-so glad Hope is happier. Her smiles are just so sweet.
Brodie, you are so generous in sharing your treats. I even have a hard time sharing the real good stuff.
i hope to visit your Mom and Ashley in the next day or so.
love and Prayers
