Hey ,

Congratulations on your exciting family news. 7 children! Wow. I am

glad that your PLS is mild as you describe it. My family includes my

husband of 12 years, my 10 year old son, and a 5 month old boy that

we are adopting. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family, and I

wish your family tremendous happiness and love. Thanks for your kind

words.

Hi Bonnie again. I just e-mailed you and then received your reply.

Congratulations on your little boy. That is so neat! Children are wonderful.

Take care.

Welcome to all the newcomers I have missed over the last several weeks. I

couldn't get on the computer for a while and then tried to make up for lost

time and read all the emails I missed! I finally realized that was a

mistake and I was never going to get caught up. Today is the first day I

believe I'll get what I have on my screen read.]

Bonnie, don't worry about spelling in this site. You will find as you go

along most of us can translate any mixup and if we can't we'll ask.

Unfortunately, loss of fine motor skills in your hands is a possibility for

you and when it happens you will take a while to compensate for it. For a

while I gave up trying to correct the misspellings and just ignored them,

but you will find a work around for that too.

Remember we're all in the same frying pan and don't mind hearing whining ore

questions.
