Sarah's Platelets and Lilly's School

Sarah and I went to the clinic on Sunday morning to check her platelet levels.  They hadn't dropped much so we were sent home after the test results came back.  She did good to get her port accessed and she was glad to not have to be there too long.  Her ANC is below 500, so she is on isolation.  She still has to go with Mom to pick up Lilly from school but wears a mask to help protect her.

Lilly gave our family home evening lesson yesterday.  She is cute because she takes a story from the Friend and will tell it.  She gets most of it right, but takes a fair amount of artist license.  She also bore her testimony after the story.  She loves to be on stage and to be the center of attention.

Lilly's teacher talked to Jess on Monday when Lilly was being picked up.  She recommended that Lilly take the advanced placement test, to see if she would qualify to go to one of the advanced learning classrooms next year.  It was something that I did as a child.  There are a number of factors that would go into what we should do for her.  She is reading really well and knows basic math, both addition and subtraction.  I quizzed her on Monday night and she got 12 + 8 after a bit of thinking about it and did a number of basic subtraction problems that we gave her.  She kept asking for more problems that she could do.

We are grateful for all the love and support we have been given.
