Running on empty

Just a quick update:

Derrick passed his first 10-word test! Now we move onto the second set. He's supposed to do 4 sets of 10 to have a good start in 1st grade....he'll be reading by Christmas hopefully =)

Leroy got his referral to a neurosurgeon today, and dum dum dum dum (that was my attempt at a drumroll) it's the best neurosurgeon in Ventura County! One of my co-workers here in Fillmore was operated on by this doctor and so now my mind is put at ease knowing he will be in capable hands. We don't have an appointment until December but hopefully he can get in sooner since he's already had a current MRI done. A small glimmer of hope =)

I didn't get the job I was hoping for in Santa Clarita =( which means we have to make do and stay here for a while longer. My back is better and hopefully tomorrow I can get released from the doctor back on regular duty instead of light duty which fully sucks!

Ok I'm gonna run, not in a really bloggy mood today, just wanted to give an update =)
