Caralyn just got her drivers permit. She is so excited! We've been taking her out driving and she is doing very well. She is going to be 15 the day after Thanksgiving and we couldn't be more proud of her. We are looking at switching doctors to somebody on the west coast because of flying time and cost of plane tickets, but we will see what the new year brings. It has certainly been a year of heartaches and miracles.

That's great news! I thought I would never drive after my accident but I don't even think about doing it with one arm now, she'll do great and the freedom is awesome :0)

Rene,

This is sure great news. Caralyn keep up the great work. Just don't let a moose come near LOL. Have a great birthday.

Hugs, Karen

Happy Birthday to Caralyn.

How exciting it is to get a drivers permit.
She must be thrilled.

Wow Renee, she must be as chuffed as little mint balls (as we say over here!)

Please tell her from us well done! Give her a biiiig hug from me and Neil!

Lizzy B :0)

Congrats from me too! It is a great feeling, I am sure especially since all the arm stuff! She is a fighter and will do GREAT!! Good luck with the new docs and stuff... HAPPPY BIRTHDAY too!!

Thank you everyone, it has been freezing rain here last couple days so she has't driven in a few days. But she is sure looking forward to her birthday party this weekend. Last year her birthday party was cancelled because my mom died that day so we are going to make up for it this year. Pizza, movies, soda and good friends laughing and giggling all night.

Yeah! Good for you Caralyn...and you too Renee. You all have had quite a year - Here's to a blessed year w/lots of gains, growth and good times! Have a fun sleepless night!
I'd be interested in hearing about who you go with on the West Coast.
Take care,
Lourdes
