Dear Journal~
This is Ronee'. Have just done my homework; I had homework in Spanish, Algebra, and Creative Writing. Glad that's outta' my hair; now I can write in here, my journal!
I am doing good: no problems since my last hospital stay, my last flare; trying to manage my pain as best as I possibly could; staying away from my allergy triggers, trying to get used to using my crutches again.
Heard from Rebekkah: she is busy with her therapies, trying to get used to her new limitations, still trying to be a friend to Susie, who is now awake, but is struggling with some serious problems herself. I don't know how Susie can stand all the bad memories; if I were her, I'd a' gone crazy long ago!!
Johnny is still doing about the same; still pretty weakened, has to use his oxygen all the time; seeing him hooked up to his tubing really bothers me because he isn't getting any better, and I am scared something bad will happen to him during the middle of the night. Needless to say, I haven't been sleeping good because I am so keyed up about Johnny.
Maman is busy trying to keep up with her e-mails, trying to work on a new book; she is writing a book about parenting a child with special needs; it's a "how-to" book with helpful tips for parents who are facing this challenge. She's still stuck in bed, so I don't see her much; I miss seeing her....
Poor daddy is keeping busy with trying to act as a multitasker; he has so much on his plate, and he is mentally/physically exhausted. I am getting worried about him....
The weather is warm here, but not too bad: the trees are just past their peak; the colors of the fall leaves were nothing short of spectacular. We may have storms later on tomorrow or the next day, including the threat of tornadoes; so you know my arthritis is going to rear its ugly head. NICE. Just what I did NOT want to hear: I am terrified of storms, especially if they turn severe!!
Well, I am going to go; going to go on MySpace, see if I have some new friends; just joined a few days ago, and I already have seven friends. Take care, I will write in here again!
Thats great, keep it up and be blessed
God Bless

It's great to hear from Ronee' today. With school comes commitments to her work, yet she still was able to write in the journal. What a considerate young lady she is for her family! I hope she does not suffer too much with the impending storms coming her way! Keep on writing!
Karen, another great story! You really do these so well. You seem to be able to put yourself in the mind of these teenagers. Love your ability to do that.
Love,
