First Friday... Jackie... in a skort... slow at 15:55.  Most of the misery in the thrusters.  Couldn't get much more than 5-7 together at a time.

But that's what you get when you burn the midnight oil for a few nights.  Pretty sure the celebratory trip to Micky Dee's yesterday didn't help.  Or the two glasses of champagne.

But I really don't care today - in that good sort of way.  Christopher did very, very well on all his testing yesterday.  While he demonstrates a deficiency in working memory commensurate with hefty ADHD, he tracks to the average on all other cognitive tests.  I don't think in 19+ years of having kids that I've been so thrilled to see "average" on an assessment.  Most importantly, it confirms the tests done 2 years ago, and sets Christopher up as the first (of hopefully many to come) known case of a child with 3q29 Microdeletion Syndrome who is not mentally retarded.  The geneticists and other specialists can move forward with documenting his story, and hopefully other parents of these very rare, special kids can share a glimmer of hope.

Now, on to the birthday party.
