"Harry, Harry, Harry"
"Harry Po tt er"
Jewel is addicted to Harry Potter audio books.
Good heavens, she is a complete nut for these compact disks since Makena brought the first set home from the library.  Jewel is on book three, disk 7 already.  She has listened to the complete book one at least three times!  You know what this means, ... so have we!
"Be quiet, Listening", is her response to us moving around her.
We have always read to her and borrowed all the books on tape from the library.
We even tried the books for the blind but the machines for those tapes are so archaic and do not work well.
I bough her one set of compact disks by James Herriot on Dog stories.  She loves these, even with the heavy English accent.
We can never read fast enough for her and the audio books are great for this, they are consistent and we can do our work around changing the cds for her.  I have yet to read the last chapters of Ella enchanted for her, life just happens while you are reading books.

The marks from the hip adductor brace on Jewel's legs have taken three days to diminish.
This is not good and we will watch for this, we do not want to repeat this because it encourages skin break down.  The weather has been humid, hot and muggy which is not fun for us but it makes Jewel more aggravated and it kicks her tone up a notch, so we have all the fans on, and doors open.
