Here are a few recent photos of Ariel:


Ariel Boutette



Far right - Her kindergarten class - 2004



Hi-Ho Silver Away


Don't forget! Still Two Weeks to Donate!


Ariel right now is going through the sleep clinic at the University
Hospital in Edmonton. We are still struggling with sleep around here. On
average Ariel gets only 5-6 hours of sleep per night. The doctors at the
sleep clinic asked us to monitor her sleep at home and now they have seen
her once over night at the hospital. Lori didn't get much sleep that night.

We have no scheduled surgeries at this time; however dental is a
must in the next 6 months.

The doctors who did the surgery on Ariel's eyes last year are just
letting things go right now... They attempted a few different methods to get
conformers (plastic spacers) in and have failed... They didn't even stay in
an hour after surgery and each one is approx $400 a piece. They really do
not look like much; they are like clear erasers from a pencil. The doctors
are regrouping to see what other ideas they can come up with to get them to
stay in.

With the beginning of summer we are seeing the end of a lot of
activities and today Ariel completed horse riding lessons and will start up
again in the fall... She really enjoyed the horse she had been riding (Pal).
Her favorite saying after riding the first time was yee haw. On Wednesday
next week is her last day of gymnastics in the afternoon and to finish music
is a music recital in the evening.

We really appreciate all that you do and all the many people that
help to make Ariel's Cabin a success. If there is anything that you would
like please let us know.

Ariel, Kyle, Lori and Garnet

PS - Jayne: This was sent to you, as well, but I guess your connection will not allow communication with the Boutettes ... weird. Anyway, I tried to forward it to you last night. It still sits in my Out Box with other outgoing E-mails. Nothing will send, for some reason!! Also, weird! I can receive mail normally ... R

Thanks for passing this on, Rich. I don't know why - just can't directly communicate with the Boutettes! I tried twice to get the pics and info. Now I know why I didn't hear back from YOU!!

So good to see how much Ariel has grown and how involved she is with fun activities. The sleep problem must be tough on the whole family, though.

Thanks again for being the middle-man!

Very nice to see an update, indeed! Thanks for all the work, Jayne and Rich.

Good luck on the computer....from one who knows.

How precious she is.

I hope the doctors can come up with a solution to the problem with the conformers. There must be a way...

I would be interested to know if they have begun teaching her letters and numbers in Braille. Here in New York State, the public school systems begin right away, using a TVI (Teacher of the Visually Impaired) to work with the student on a one-on-one basis. This keeps the children on an equal footing with sighted kids, regarding reading and writing. Yes, math and even music can be done in Braille! I sincerely hope this is the case with Ariel, as well. Even with the availability of high technology these days in the form of computer programs that read text and vocalize it, "Braille Is The Key To Literacy" for someone who is blind.

God Bless Her!

It sure is nice to get updates on her, I enjoy hearing about her progress.
