Noah's First Date! Originally uploaded by Grandma Boren . Noah had his first date on Saturday. He went to the Homecoming Dance for Mountain View High School. Four students from the Life Skills Class went with Bruin Buds (a club that serves students with disabilities) first to dinner at our house (you know Murray loves to entertain although this one was actually my idea) and then to the dance at the Provo Towne Centre. Murray made his famous savory chicken schnitzel with noodles and I made a Fall salad with pears and walnuts. Murray liked the salad so well we are having it for dinner again tonight. Back to Noah--Noah's date is Corinne Bauer she is one of his peer tutors. The other couple in the photo is Ryan Painter (Noah's long time friend) and his date Brittney. We had a great time and the students did too! Kudos to Ms. Parker, Noah's teacher, for arranging this wonderful evening for the students. They all "had a blast"!

Noah Goes to School Originally uploaded by Grandma Boren . Noah started his junior year at Mountain View HS on the 23th of Aug. This year he has two bus drivers. One for "A" days when he goes to ATECH (job skills training where he works at the Bishops' Storehouse bagging potatoes-at least that's what I think he's telling me.) They also did tomatoes one day.) His bus for "B" days takes him right to the HS. Noah had to give up his painting class because he wasn't returning from ATECH in time. Instead he is taking a weight training class. I think he will enjoy it. We'll see. I have done some weight training exercises with Noah at home using dumbells and he seems to like it. Noah has been reading to me every morning while we wait for the bus. It is a lot of fun and he likes the routine. I have a hard time getting him to read to me in the afternoon. Maybe that's because he needs some "down time" after school. We ha

Another Aftermath Originally uploaded by Grandma Boren . Poor Noah! We have been at Timpanogos Hospital this morning. I got a call from school saying that Noah had a seizure in PE class. They were running laps and Noah decided to do one more than usual but towards the end he started walking, then staggering, then moved to the grass and sat down hard. He rolled on to his side and began seizing. The PE teacher didn't realize Noah had a seizure disorder so she didn't know at first what was happening. Luckily, the paramedics work out at the same track at the same time so they were there to help. Then checked his vital signs and were not too pleased so they started an IV and oxygen. Meanwhile, I was on my way to pick Noah up and take him home when and got another call saying they decided to take him to the hospital. I called Murray to let him know what was going on and we all met at the emergency room. They checked Noah out, took a carbamazepine level (it was 12.3
