Just wanted to put another quick update on for all to catch up. Austin had his neuro-psychological evaluation a few weeks ago. It was a 5 hour long test that involved him working through many activities, testing on school subjects and testing his IQ. All in all, it was all normal. They said he does not have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which I was surprised, but glad to hear. He does have the attention problems, especially at school, but he did not fit into the ADD criteria. He will not be evaluated for another year. His next check-up appointment is in April, at which time he will see a renal nurse practitioner and endo doctor. The endo doctor is keeping close eye on his growth hormones, so let's hope there has been a big increase since last time we saw her. In other news, I wanted to share with everyone that I am in the process of forming a team for the American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay for Life. Relay for Life is an annual event that takes place to raise money for ACS. I am getting a team of 10-15 people together and we will raise money before the event, which is on June 20th in Madison County. Then on the night of the event, my team will have games or things to sell, and all the money raised that night will go to ACS. I am very excited to have this opportunity and I would love to have any donations or help I can get. If you know of something you could donate, whether it be prizes to give away or food for the team to sell, let me know. If you would like to be a member of the team, I would be glad to have you! If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, please let me know and I will send you my mailing address if you don't already have it. My goal is to raise $1500 and I am confident that my team will raise it!!! Please let me know if you would like to help out in any way. Lesley
