Today Tyler participated in the regional science fair. He was invited to participate after winning first prize in Botany at his school. He got dressed up into a shirt, tie, and jacket. He looked pretty sharp and I could tell he was pretty excited. Soon we will find out how he did and see if he is invited to the next stage which is the States. I just wish I was smart enough to help him with his projects but he has surpassed me in his ability to think innovatively. He has a slight disadvantage not being able to talk and answer the judges verbally but he compensates by typing into his blackberry answers to anticipated questions. He is working really hard to gain weight because it is a constant struggle. Tyler has also been busy attending his baseball practices.

Samantha seems to be settling into a routine at school and continues to get great grades and work hard also. She seems really happy although her dystonia conitnues to progress. Tonight she has about twenty friends coming over for her birthday party. It is going to be a big time. She turns ten years old tomorrow. 

Luke has been playing a lot of basketball and I have enjoyed coaching his team with a good friend of mine. Luke says he has been exercising for his heart and playing with the dogs. He also says that he went to a movie with his friend last night. Luke is not showing the signs of dystonia that a short time ago I thought for sure he had. We are crossing our fingers and praying that the dystonia beast skips him.
