I have posted several updates about Kaydee on her GoFundMe page. You can find it here: http://www.gofundme.com/Helping-Kaydee

I will be posting more about what I am going through another time. Hopefully soon.  I don't pull out the laptop much anymore. I'm just so tired and so busy. I finally pulled it out tonight and now I can't remember all that I wanted to get done while I had it out. I'm sure I'll remember as soon as I go to bed. Getting this thing out and set up isn't all that fun anymore. The battery has almost no life to it, so it has to always be plugged in. The keyboard has lost a few keys, and then half of it doesn't even work, so I have a seperate keyboard to plug in. And then I like using a mouse better than a touchpad, so that gets hooked up too. But it's a good little computer and does it's job well - as long as the kids don't touch it. Which they all suddenly remember some homework they need to do when they see it out. Then they play games instead. And download stuff willy-nilly. And then I have to uninstall a bunch of stuff, and de-bug it, and run all kinds of scans and I'm never able to completely restore it to work like it did before their shenanigans. Sigh.
