Hello friends

It's been a while since I last wrote.  I have been a little bit busy and down in the dumps.  SO I did have a mid term, I didn't do fantastic nor did I do horrible.  There was however a drop out I think.  Star is gone.  Yes, the young juice box drinking Star has not come to class in quite some time.  The class has actually seemed to shrink in the past couple months.  I did finally get my grade for keyboarding too, I know everyone was anxious on that one.
Since I am writing I am going to tell the story of my son and ask everyone who reads this to do me a favor.  First, the story.  Joe is four years old.  Last January he had an accident and broke his femur, that made for a really tough few months, and is still coping with the end result of that injury.  Most recently though he was diagnosed with en coup de sabre.  It is a form of morphea.  It is an immune deficiency disorder where your skin hardens and with en coup de sabre it can make an indentation in your skin and bone structure.  En coup de sabre is on your forehead.  Joe's starts on his forehead and goes up into his hair line.  We are hoping we have caught Joe's early enough that the indenting does not happen.  Right now he has a bright red mark that starts right between his eyes to the middle of his skull.  We are treating it with cream.  I keep telling myself that this is NOT life threatening, it is life altering.
Here is the favor I want to ask all of you.  You may be a mother, father, grandparent, sister, brother, aunt, uncle or teacher.  I am asking that everyone talk to your children about treating others with kindness and respect no matter what is on their face.  Yes, my Joe has a slight limp and a mark on his face and head but,  he is only four years and shouldn't have people staring at him when shopping or going to school.  He is still my sweet, kind, adorable and loveable little boy.  His physical appearance may have changed for now, hopefully it will go back and not leave any scarring, but his personality has not changed and I would like to keep it that way.
I truly hope everyone had a nice  Thanksgiving.  Have a wonderful holiday season.
P.S.  Sorry to any family members who are reading this instead of being told about it.  It has been a rough week.
