A Quick Update!

I have been having a very difficult time finding a chance to update y'all. So, at least I'll type up a quick update.

Sumana is doing really well in school this year. I can't believe she didn't 'forget' the basics over the summer break. She sees Miss Becca once a week for 45 minutes for PT. She's been back on the treadmill there and at home. At home she's up to 2.5 minutes 4 times!! Her next VEPTR surgery is November 15.

Jeffrey is still working at the bank and will graduate from Finger Lakes Community College in Dec. He just bought a beautiful new-to-him car.

Gretchen's surgery went well and she's now in a walking boot. It comes off in 2 weeks. The doctor will then do an x-ray to see if it is sufficiently healed and then she'll start PT if needed. It's been almost 6 weeks since she's driven her car and boy, is she antsy!!!

Andrew is in 9th grade homeschool and seems to be enjoying his studies. He also works most weekends at LeTourneau Camp washing dishes. He still takes guitar lessons and recently was certified in CPR and AED. He dislocated his knee twice this summer and is currently in PT.

Jade (our foster daughter) decided to go back to high school. She really likes her teachers and is looking forward to TWO homecoming dances in the next 2 weeks. She still works 10 hours a week at FLCC's cafe.

Gavin (Jade's son), is cruising around furniture and mamama-ing and nanana-ing all over the place. He'll be 1 in November.

Greig recently began a new job in the area of life insurance. He is now licensed and has a full schedule working in 'his' territory. It's hard work, but he really likes the products he offers and has a great boss that is 'grooming' him to be the next sales manager for our region.

I still work 10-15 hours a week at the library and play 'taxi-driver' for our kids. I watch Gavin while Jade is in school and work with Sumana on her 5th grade work. It is extremely crazy, but God has been faithful to give us what we need, when we need it. So, that's all for now, folks!!!

  1. Wow! Lots of changes in the Holman household! I hope things settle into a more "normal-ish" routine soon, though I know that your house is sort of like mine, no such thing as "normal-ish" other than just normally crazy! :) Maybe that's why we get along so well - because we're both a bit on the crazy side! :) Love to all!

  2. Just wanted to let you know that I finally got my case report back that I did on Sumana and my classmates and teachers were all very impressed (not so much with my write-up as with my patient "SH"!) I was so fortunate to get to work with Sumana and just wanted to thank you for letting me share your amazing story and your progress. So glad to hear everything is going well-you guys sure do keep busy!
