Nicole continues to make progress. She is eating tons, and gaining back the weight she lost in the hospital. She successfully made it up the stairs again this weekend and is excited to be sleeping on her own bed now. Her stamina is improving and she pushes herself to increase her walking. While that is coming along

slowly, it is coming.

She was really looking forward to making it to church and her youth group today. The rousing welcome they gave her was a bit overwhelming, but left her grinning from ear to ear.

Her swim coach is part of the youth group as well and has extended to Nicole the opportunity to participate in the swim team in a number of ways even though she wont be able to compete in the foreseeable future.  Nicole was happy to get her swim team pictures back (taken just prior to all the crazy events).

Unfortunately, we have not heard back from the school district or school counselor about the home tutoring program. I will go meet with the counselor in the morning to see if I can move things forward a bit.
