Second year Day 132 - Wednesday April 24, 2013

I forgot to mention that this is finals week for Arrianne.  She's been SO swamped!  It's has been just a crazy week for her.  Luckily, it's almost over!! And...she still has her voice!  Yippee!  She has one more concert tomorrow night.  She had her sophomore review on Monday.  If you don't pass that, you get kicked out of the program.  She of course passed with flying colors.  She was very nervous about it and thank goodness that is over!  She also had a big audition on Monday night for a summer opera program.  Hopefully she gets into that as well.  It wouldn't be until July, so she'd still be home for two months first.  We'll see how that goes.  For another update on Bridgett's progress.  Some people see Bridgett and say to me afterwards, if it wasn't for her eyes looking so weird, she'd look lots more normal now.  That's true.  She still isn't back to normal yet, and in some ways is still young acting (or at least different acting), but overall she is doing better and looking much better.  The eyes.....they are a problem.  They are getting better than they were, for sure.  But, they are not normal at all and it's frustrating to be sure.  Often she asks me about them and if they look crossed or not.  She worries about them off and on.  She often comments that the left eye is the crazy one.  It for sure is worse than the right eye.  We keep doing the eye exercises every day.  The eyes do track together so much better.  The left eye often is looking forward, but it does bing back and forth at times.  Still neither eye will move outward past mid line.  Frustrating!  We will see what the ophthalmologist has to say at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake when we see him in July.
