Harry Potter

Katherine and I went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night, leaving Daddy home with the twins. Caroline really is not into Harry Potter the way Katherine and I are, and Rob could pretty much care less. I can't even get him to read the books. Still, K and I enjoyed our night out, though the plot of the movie was a little confusing to an 8 year old who has only seen the movies and not read the books, so there was a lot of explaining to do. Ben has been doing better, seeming to have finally settled into his summer schedule. He completed his second week of school last week and it runs though the end of the month. August is looming before us and it will probably prove to be a trying month. I signed the girls up for one more half day camp the first week of August, but I am seriously counting the days until we can leave for our Outer Banks vacation and head back to school the week after. Ben visited Dr. Compart the beginning of this month, and she said that she definitely noticed a difference in his demeanor. He was much calmer and didn't show his aggressive side at all, a marked improvement. She recommended adding a few more supplements to help detoxify his body and control yeast, which I am adding slowly to his regimen. Last Monday he had his MRI and EEG done at Walter Reed, along with several bloodtests, including a chromosomal microarray. We'll see what comes back in a few weeks, though frankly, I'm not expecting too much.
