Factoids from the last two days:

School schedules have been picked up - both girls are busy figuring out which friends will be in classes with them. Texting and social networking being put to good use! Shannon and Erin seem happy with their teachers, lockers, and schedules...

Soccer info - The girls have heard from their coaches and it looks like Shannon and Erin both have some buddies on their teams. Practices will start next week...

Hematology appointment - weight and blood counts are good. Shannon keeps pushing to decrease the steroids. Dr. Rodriguez has a soft spot for her, I think, and Shannon convinced her to go down another .5 mg starting Monday ...

MRI - Shannon's third scan was done this morning and we meet with the doctors next Tuesday to see the results. Shannon was in good spirits this am - she's and old pro at it by now. She doesn't seem stressed or worried about the results, so Dan and I will try to follow her lead on that ...

This Weekend - As I write, Shannon is golfing with Papa, Erin is at a pool party, and tonight we head downtown for the Greek Festival. Dan's playing in the city golf championship this weekend and Shannon's planning to caddy for him during Sunday's round here at our home course ...

That about covers it...
