UPdate on the kids and the family

Alex's toe is healing wonderfully. All has grown back all that's left is a scabb. I mean it's a pretty big and nasty scabb, but his toe in general is doing so much better. As for Olivia, we finally found a doctor that listens. He watched how Olivia was reacting to things and how she was in general. He dicussed her behavior with me and disipline. The next step is seeing the behavior specialist. That will be in the 22nd of Oct. She will do a series of test for development and other things. The doctor suggested a couple weeks of counseling and then she will start taking medication. I have an appointment with the Doctor on the 17th to discuss medication. Like wich one is best for her specific issues and age. I have been researching the different medications used to treat ADHD to get a better idea of what I think is best for Olivia. I am so glad that after a year and a half I have finally found someone who listens and observes instead of just writting everything off as it all being part of her age. Because yes, some of it is part of bing 4 1/2 but when she takes everything to a major extreme and hurts others it's not just her age.

As for the family... we were aprroved for a loan and were able to buy a new car and get rid of our two junkers. We got a 2007 Saurn Ion 2. Yes it is a sedan but we needed to down size for gas price reasons. We got the car for just under $10,000. Our Payments are $208 a month and with only 12.7% interest. WE got a loan through Navy Federal credit Union. The people we at first were going to get a loan through had our payments at $247 a month with 18% interest. So THANK THE ALL MIGHTY LORD for answered prayers. We have been struggling with cars since 2004. Never could get one reliable. And finally we do. I don't know what I have been doing or maybe not doing to be blessed this way but I am eternally greatful. On another good note, we found a 3 bdrm apatment in our home town of Puyallup, Washington for under $1000 a month with all deposites 100% refundable. It's a nice well kept and clean complext about a 20 minute drive north of both my parents and my in-laws. So the last thing we need to find is a mover to get our belingings for cheap. Since this is a personal move and not a PSC or end of contract move, we have to pay for the move out of our pocket. And we know that it is not that cheap but we can dall we can to find the best price. So as we find movers we have lots of furniture to sell/get rid of. Just in case you are curious as to what we are not keeping let me know and i will have pictures for you.
