Marley's Magical Mind

Hi friends! Its been a few months since my last post.  Marley is thriving in her new class. She's doing very well in her classes and is even doing pretty good with math.  Her class has a separate teacher just for special education students.  Unfortunately her original special education teacher fell sick and had to take a medical leave. Luckily her new teacher is very sweet, but we all know how she does with changes.  It took a few days but she was able to adjust. She has been blossoming as a writer.  She discovered the 'notes' in her Mac computer.  She has been typing away with new stories and situations she imagines.  I haven't read any of it yet.  I don't want to break her trust and have her stop writing.  She is very "all or nothing".  If she finds out I read her 'diary' she will never forgive me.   Her lyme disease hasn't reactivated.  I'm really hoping it hasn't taken over her like it's taken over me.  She asked me...

Yup. It's true.  She was reinfected with Lyme. Since the middle of May she had been sleeping a lot. She was taking naps during the day and would spend most of the weekend inside the house. I was suspicious that something was wrong and asked my husband to take her to the doctor. This was the middle of June, after school finished for the summer. He is a teacher so he had the same vacation as her.  The blood was drawn without a problem. Sure enough, she tested positive again. The doctor explained the results to me but it wasn't too clear for me. The way she was describing the results sounded like this was 'acute' all over again. Which means it just started and is new.  Great!!!  Use your bug spray!!! These little suckers are dangerous!!! I'll be back soon!!!  ❤️ Vanessa
