Here is a little bit of an update.

My weight loss surgery is now finally in the hands of the insurance. I got my insurance back the beginning of February and was able to reschedule all the appointments I had to miss in January. So keep on praying that the insurance will approve it soon. I am now undergoing cervical epidurals for the pinched nerve and the pain it is causing in my neck left arm and hand. I have to have a new MRI done and a new EMG.

Nothing much new with Mike. He has not lost anymore weight but is maintaining his weight loss and not gaining either. He keeps active hanging out with his buddies at KRUGS AUTO SALES. He still has not heard anything from his mother or anyone in his family on his mothers side since before Christmas. That means his birthday came and went and not a word from his mother and that is sad.

Hollie is no longer working at Arby's. Her and Mike are discussing getting a paper route and splitting the money since I am not able to really help anymore due to my health issues. She has finally decided to enroll in Fairmont and will start school again on April 9th. If she really works hard she could still graduate before Timmy and Donald.

Timmy is still living at his dads. We had the court hearing on March 1st but the magistrate is rendering her decision in writing and who knows when we will recieve it. So keep this a matter of prayer that the magistrate will let this 16 year old return home to where he wants to live. He has gotten accepted into Green County Career for next year and since we live in Montgomery if he comes back here to live they will let him transfer. He has decided to try to be a pediatrician or a vetrinarian. I am so proud of him and want him to reach his goals.

Jeffrey is still living with his grandfather. I really dont much about wether he is doing well in school or not. He looks as if he is gaining some more weight. Last weekend we checked his sugar and it was high it was 256. They let him eat anything and everything at that home but that is because he controlls all the adults in that home and that is sad. He still comes every saturday for his visits. I have contacted legal aid to try and get custody of him back.

Michael is doing well. He has had some trouble though with his step brother recently at his dads house so it has been decided that he will not be going for visits til Robin decides it is not best for Justin to be in that home. I am so glad that me and Don can be friends and make the decisions that we need to make to keep him safe. He had a orchestra concert this past Thursday and it was really good. I am impressed with how much he has learned. He is going to be a real good violin player. He is interested in a little girl named Kayla.

Well that is it for the update. If you really want to stay up to date with me and my family then visit my webpage at http://www. myspace.com/mikesdarla
