Mikaela Can Do IT, YES!

Well Mikaela has been on meds. now for about two months, for her mutated genes. I do not know if the meds. are the reason for the following, however I certainly hope they are and that our future is going to shine.

Saturday Dad informed me we were down to 4 bales of hay. So I went in search of hay and found some in Badger Canyon @ Uttley's. So Dad went to hook up the truck and get ready to go get the hay. Mikaela and I had been in the office working on math. As soon as Dad went out the door to get ready, Mikaela wanted to go as well. My response was, "are you kidding, you have two pages of assessments to do." Mikaela asked "if I get it done then may I go?" "if you get it done." Now I have a pretty good idea that she is not going to get it done. After all the day before we spent 4 hours on two pages of math and then the assessment that consisted of about 4 questions. I wanted to beat my head on the wall before we finished that lesson. And this assessment was the unit assessment. It covered 13 lessons, some of those lessons we had to review as we did them in the spring of last year. So I was expecting her to struggle a little bit. So Miss Mikaela sat down and in less than 15 minutes (before her Dad was even done hooking up the truck) she said "I am done." Want to guess how many she had wrong? I didn't tell her how well she had to do on the test, I just said that she had to get the assessment done, and done it was. I was just finishing up grading that last unit, when she said she was done. She only missed one on that lesson. So I checked her unit assessment. How well do you think she did? I was in shock when I found she had only missed 1 on it. WOW!!!!!!!

I am really hoping that her meds. are working and this is the beginning of a very bright future. Yes, I realize we will most likely still have struggles. But won't it be nice if it comes a little easier than it did for the rest of her siblings.
