Just found out my x daughter in law got her test back she has hep c SIGH but

the way she explained it she is + and _ so she is seeing a spec. today it

may be she did not become chronic. I tried to tell her not to get those

tattoos, her husband does them and I think he cleans his needles in just

alcohol. Is that all it takes to clean them!!??

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the update on your sister. Prayers that her leg continues to heal.

Glad to see you back.

Thank you! the prayers are working, she got her other leg fitted and she is

able to stand and walk a few minutes a day. She says it's uncomfortable

right now and she will have build up endurance but she is getting there!

Hi Carol

SFIC is the name of the actual manufacturer of the M & P

and they are in California. They have a big minimum order

though. But there are distributors that sell it at a higher

price of course than buying it from SFIC direct. I usually

get mine from Soapberry Lane in Virginia. WSP is short

for Wholesale Supplies Plus and they are in Ohio, if I remember

correctly. I don't know who makes their M & P but it's pretty good.

It's also cheaper but I just find that I like SFIC's more.

But it's a matter of personal preference, you know?

Hi Carol

Yes, I am busy...sometimes way too busy. And this too shall pass?

Actually I hope not...as it is great that they keep buying my

products. I let lye/water mixture cool; melt oils and let them

cool,usually to about 100-110 degrees then mix (stick blend)them

together, scent/color. I use the wooden log molds as per directions I

sent you, lines with freezer paper.(I have 6 of them).I let them sit

in their towels(to gel) for 24 hours then cut, with a great cutter my

sister made me, takes about 4 minutes to cut the log which I get 24

bars. I cure them 4 weeks...no less than that, and then carve the

sharp edges, with a carrot peeler, wrap, label and price. I did try

the crockpot method once but didn't care for how rough they looked.

Not really sure if I did something wrong, but haven't tried it again

since. It is a bit tireing and mind boggling to be almost 2 months

ahead of myself. I have a great 12 shelf curing rack in the spare

room for curing. It is a closet space saver, floor to ceiling that I

added extra shelves to. This week I had to add a folding table as I

have run out of shelf space. Also remember that I do not have any

children (not entirely by choice but the path that has been given to

me to follow at this time)which gives me more spare time than the

average Mom/family. I also have a ton of candy molds that I use for

each holiday. They are very time consuming, but sell well. Hope this

information helps you. Kim C

Trisha is doing pretty good. She is using more and more signs and is also

trying to say more words, she still won't use the new words other than to

repeat what she hears but that is a start. She has begun to add the T sound

to the end of word so now instead of saying whaaaaaaa for " what " she says

whaT with alot of emphasis on the T. The signing time videos we got are a

great help, not only for Trisha and me but for my neices and nephew, they are

learning to sign so that they can communicate with Trisha. The school is

also purchasing the videos so that the kids in her class (and aide) can learn

to communicate with Trisha as well. We are using pecs as well but I find the

signs are faster since we don't always have a pic available to us so it's a

combo of verbal, sign and pecs. My sister is doing well, they are ready to

make her permanent legs now, she is able to walk on the temp legs with a

walker and she can walk to the bathroom by holding to the walls without the

walker now. Her left leg is still not healing like the docs want it to, but

they are going to give it more time since the infection in it seems to have

cleared up. We have an IEP meeting coming up, it was cancelled this past

week due to snow. While we are not where we need to be at school we are

making progress slowly but surely. I'm working on the bigger issues now and

then will work on the smaller issues later. She should be going to the

middle school next year but since they didn't start the transition in time,

she will remain in the elem. school next year with transitioning to start in

Sept. that will give Trisha time to get used to seeing the middle school and

the teachers in the middle school time to get to know Trisha. Any

suggestions on transitioning to the middle school are needed and welcomed.

Hi Carol,

I was wondering about your sister too. Always forgot to ask. Glad that she is

doing ok. I hope the permanent leg will give her more mobility. I would hope

the school can find an aide for Trisha that knows sign. Regular visits to the

middle school would help Trisha feel more comfortable. I would also have her

meet all the staff a few times. I wish you luck in your IEP meeting.

Thank you, we've had to reschedule the IEP again, so hopefully we will get it

scheduled soon. Trisha went to weekend camp this weekend and came back with

what looks like fingernail scratches. She pointed them out to me and signed

hurt and then signed help. The staff had already left by the time she got

home so I will have to wait and talk to them tomorrow and find out what

happened. She also had a scratch on her bottom lip. She may have fallen but

the little cuts on her arm looks like fingernails dug into the skin. There

are 4 marks straight in a line. It's not a major deal, just would like to

know how she got the scrapes. If there was a skirmish of any kind then I

just want to make sure that the staff be more alert. Kids will act out from

time to time, gee if they didn't they wouldn't be kids. lol

Thanks for the up-date Carol!

Sounds like Trisha is making some good gains, huh? That's great! I hope the

transition to middle school goes well. I'm happy to hear your sister is

doing well. It must be SOOOOOO hard. Prayers that her leg heals and she can

master the use of the new legs. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
