[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 134682, member: 1991"] Hi, Steely. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, this has been really rough on you. You need to be strong. What's happening with us? Well "The Black Balloon", the movie our kids were in (with another handful of autistic kids and siblings), is now in the Aussie cinemas and doing really well. Before that, the film was at the Berlin Film Festival where it won a Crystal Bear for best film for over 14s. It's about teen angst when you've got an autistic brother. It's very much warts and all, but keeps the humour in there as well as the pain. We all went to the preview on Monday night, had a great time, loved the film, met up with the director and choreographer again and the kids were each presented with a small memento. They had also been paid, which was good. If it gets to the US, go see it, especially if you know someone with autism. Oh yes, and it stars Toni Collette and Gemma Ward. Other news - the doctors say I MUST lose weight for the sake of my health. My liver is not in good shape. I've posted about it, and I'm now posting about progress over in Healthful Living. My biggest problems are HOW do I lose weight? When you're already doing everything you would think you would need to do (or can do), and your weight is stable, then how do you reduce? And keep it off? And lap band surgery is out of the question, the doctor says I don't qualify. difficult child 1 is engaged, as of Valentine's Day. We're happy, she's a lovely girl, looks like Liv Tyler. So that's us, in a nutshell. Marg [/QUOTE]
