Of red casts and other things

Zak is now sporting a bright red cast, covered in signatures. He has become an expert wheel chair driver and went back to school today for a full day after a trial half day on Friday. School has been very supportive and helping with full time teacher aide help despite the communication difficulties with ACC due to the hospital not filing his claim yet. Please pray for this situation. I am taking more time off tomorrow to take Zak to our own GP so she can file a claim on his behalf. All very trying but we will get there in the end.

It is hard to believe it is only a year ago we were in Hamilton for Jono and Kat's wedding; today we had the inaugaral lecture which we missed last year. Between us, Chris and I managed to help out in a small way, Chris setting up the technology for John Daniel and videoing it while I ran his powerpoint.

Katarina and Janine are enjoying their outdoor education week, with Katarina heading out to the end of the harbour sailing. She has her father's sea legs! But she didn't throw up until almost the end of the trip which she was pleased about and didn't seem too distressed when she came home.

Janine is off to camp on Wednesday which will be nice. Katarina had a great time at the same camp last year.

And Hannah? Well, all the fuss and attention that Zak is getting is starting to wear a little thin as she is used to having plenty done for her and now we need her to be a little more independant. But she is loving her school and one friend in particular has turned up and she is really enjoying Rikki.
