ILA...

Well, Ila got to spend 12 hours at home before she got admitted to Children's hopital in Atlanta. Her bilirubin count got up to 19.8. The norm is around 5. She has been there since Monday. She is in a "tent" with high powered lights to help lower her jaundace. Brannan and Matthew are there, but don't get to hold her but like once a day. Though they are being strong, I know their hearts are breaking. They thought she was going to be able to come home tomorrow, but her count did not change in 12 hours. It is at 14.7 as of now. I saw dafodills yesterday, and anyone who truly knows me knows the significance of dafodills. I saw them as a sign that Ila will be well soon. Please keep her, Brannan, Matthew and Susan Grayton in your prayers.
The Suber fam is doing well. Toler is struggling with his multiplication facts and gets more frustrated with me by the moment. Sube has a coaches clinic and is leaving me for 2 days. Josie, well, Josie is into everything. She is climbing, talking, marching, singing (with Dora of course) and constantly "tickle tickle, tickle" someone. I am getting by. I am worried about Ila and about my own mental health. Mental health wise: school. NCLB is going to have all the teachers (especially special ed) in serious therapy for the remainder of our lives. Anyway, that's all I know of now.
