Gee almost October, where did August and September go. Guess life must be getting back to normal and we are busy, busy, busy. I will begin with the most current news and work my way back to August. Yesterday was a long day in Ann Arbor – but came with good news. Now hoping the Ann Arbor trip on Oct 13 goes that well. She sees the endocrinologist and finds the results to her blood panel from yesterday. So yesterday consisted of a 6:30 am MRI, so yes we woke at 3:30 am and left by 4:30 am. Grandma went with us, good thing – cause she was the only one awake on the way home. Pretty bad when Grandma out lasts us. After MRI we run right up to lab, Andi had not eaten since 10:00 pm the day before and was hungry. After lab sat for a while so Andi could eat McDonald cookies that Andrew had brought home the night before and drink some juice. Went from thereto the Oncologist appt and he could already see the MRI on his computer and said he thought things looked real good and we did not have to return for one year. Now off to Neuro Surgeon appt, 1.5 hours early. But they got us in and we were out of there by the time our real appt time was. The Dr. said MRI looked good and we did not have to return for one year unless we had any issues. YAH!!! From there we headed for the cafeteria, we were all ready for lunch as we had been up for over 7 hours. Then Andi paged “the bedside musician/Betsy” and we met her in the courtyard so Andi and her could have the photo shoot. Betsy had asked Andi a couple weeks ago if she wanted to be represented on the brochures and web site for the UofM bedside musician. After photos they went over to the cancer center atrium and played for about an hour. Now we could go home? Oh no, Andi had to visit Karlene and Jerry. Quite a social network at UofM. I said yes to stopping by and saying HI to Karlene on our way to the parking garage, but she would have to see Jerry next month. Karlene switched jobs and is now on the 3rd floor – but we did find her and had a wonderful visit. Enough of the doc/appt/uofm talk. September 7 school began and Andi is bouncing right out of bed. Mostly because of her Animal Science Program she is in at MACC for the first half of the day. She is loving it and can’t get enough. She finished E-Team the weekend of 9/11 and 9/12. She had a great time competing this year. There were approx 78 riders from all different schools, at least 25 in each of her classes – so she didn’t place. But hopes with this years learning experience she will have a chance next year. She took a hard fall in bareback class, but brushed off and get right back on and finished the class. Then on monday needed an adjustment to put her ribs and hip back into place. No wonder she said she was sore and hurting. She met alot a great kids from Alma, Shepherd and Breckenridge and had a wonderful time. We spent a weekend at the Clevengers beautiful cabin in Clare and attended the Amish Auction – found a great pair of chaps with tons of silver on them. We had such a great time there and did not want it to end. The guys caught a ton of fish too. Wishing Andrew could have been with us, but he had to work. Andrea stayed at Shanes for a weekend and made big bucks dog sitting for Blaze. She also had a very successful meeting with the Vet Science Dept Counselor at MSU last week. She is right on track for admittance and should have no problems. Found out she will need to apply next fall and that she most likely will stay in the dorms because of the course schedule. Guess that is all for September. Now August, if I can remember. E-Team of course, all very fun. Two concert performances with her CMACB. One at the Clare Airport and one at the Ithaca Fun Festival. They sounded great and those every Monday nite practices do pay off. She cheered some of the kids from her 4-H club on at State Finals one weekend and other than that just kinda rested up from June and July’s fast pase and prepared for Septembers fast pase. So will post again after 10-13 appt and hope all remains good. Homecoming is Oct 8, Andi was nominated for court – but did not get it. Will post about homecoming then. This weekend we will go camping with a group of horse friends and they will trail ride and guys will fish. The colors should be peak, I am hoping to get some good pics. Thanks for checking in on Andi – she knows you are supporting her and appreciates it very much. I promised pictures – tried it, cannot get them to upload. Will see if Todd will be able to help out tonight.
