Situational Update For Those Who Care (10-9-14)

First, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to visit our Clips4Sale site, even if all you did was look. To the people who referred their friends, I thank you. To the 5 people who made purchases, I want you to know how much I appreciate this. It's a start, and it gives me hope that things will improve. Everyone is taking extra shifts at work and nobody is complaining. Yes, things still look dismal at this end, but I have some good news! 

Shilo's birthday is next month, and his parents were concerned about our lack of an air conditioner, and as much as the heat is a bother, a portable air conditioner won't solve our problems, but a newer and better quality video camera would be helpful in making better quality videos for our Clips4Sale site. Without going into too much detail, it was explained to them that an air conditioner would be helpful, but a video camera would be useful because we could take "nature shots" for profit. It worked, so we will have our new camera soon, and better quality videos mean we can (hopefully) get more repeat customers. We currently have 16 clips up, with another 4 in the queue for future release. We've also decided to offer custom videos by request as long as they fit into our current dynamic.

Child #4 (age 25) has attended a few munches with us. He is Developmentally Delayed, and has seizures almost daily. The medications are not helping the situation. In late August, he had EEG equipment attached to him for 3 days, and the results were inconclusive mostly because he would forget to push the button after a seizure. As a result, he will be spending 5 days to a week in the hospital next month for testing. I feel very fortunate that both Stitch and Shilo treat him as if he was their child.

I will periodically provide updates as they happen. Thank you!
