Craig is going to start school next Wednesday! His schedule will consist of 4 classes, and he will attend every other day
(2 days one week, 3 days the next). Only 1 of the classes will be 'academic', and that will be English.
Craig speaks English, so it should not be too hard. As far as the long term graduation strategy, we are going to wait and
see how things go. Craig is really excited to go back, I guess sitting around the house all day with Mom and Dad isn't
near as exciting as we think. It is amazing that we have reached this point, a couple of months back I told the speech therapist
at McKay Dee that I thought a summer school class might be optimistic. Craig is speaking to his seminary class tomorrow, his
first official public appearance.
On the medical side, we met with a number of doctor's this week and are continuing
a reduction in the medications while observing his physical and mental states. We have an appt with an ophthalmologist on
Tuesday, and we hope to get some answers on the vision problem.

We met with Craig's neurologist today. He had not seen Craig for over a month and seemed pleased with the progress he
has made. This was the last official visit with this doctor, who was in charge of Craig's case from day one. I realize
it's their job, but it's hard to adequately thank these people for all they have done. No answers on the vision problem
however, and it looks like we will need to find an neuro-ophthamologist. We are still seeing parts of Craig's personality
amplified, and although we know this is normal, it can be a challenge at times. Once again, those of you who are interacting
with him right now, thanks for your diligence and patience. Please do not be offended if something bizarre comes out of his
mouth!
