That's good news! Thanks so much for the update! I agree that I'd probably look for another doctor. When DH had his problems a few years back, we were driving two hours to see a rheumy every six weeks. All he did was shake his head and write DH a prescription for yet more drugs and tell him to come back in another six weeks. DH had been off work for many months, his disability (through work) was running out, and he really wanted to go back to work. We finally drove to Mayo and spent two weeks. Cost us a bundle, but DH was back to work within a month. Continued prayers for Alex.

Thanks for the update lillie. I'm glad he's improving. That banana pudding works wonders, doesn't it. :) Saying prayers for Alex and mom. Linda

AWESOME! i love hearing of kids who are happily excelling in sciences! college costs will always go up, hopefully the university uses them to further education and the status of the university's programs. my dh has been fulltime at Univ central FL since 2007 and tuition has gone up 25% w/ another 15% increase for this fall and it is still nationally ranked as a good buy in colleges. his mechanical engineering program has tremendous industry support (both $$$ & thru teaching) so we are o.k. w/ increases. the univ has gone from 5th largest in this country to 3rd in 2 yrs, plus the engineering dept is nationally well ranked, very important for future jobs. in the long run when you are in programs that can all but guarantee a very high salary, the costs to get there are fractional. my dh has now known 3 yrs worth of graduating friends and not a single one had to go to graduation w/o atleast a couple of job offers to choose from which is in the end the most important result of education IMO. you should be very proud, his successes reflect very well on you mom! ~ liz
