<p>Stadmom, that sounds like a huge ordeal for your daughter! So sorry this happened to her (and to you!) Hope the passport issue gets resolved. </p>
<p>My D2 came home from her college a bit demoralized because of health problems-- we’re trying to figure out with her if she should take a leave of absence next semester to recover or go back and try to muddle through…</p>
<p>D3 is still at school-- no rest for the weary until December 22! DH, D4, and I drove up to NYC on Monday to hear her orchestra conducted by the man who has been named music director of our own city’s orchestra-- very exciting! And today it was reviewed in the NY Times (my daughter is visible in the photo!) <a href=“Nézet-Séguin Leads Juilliard Orchestra at Tully - Review - The New York Times”>Nézet-Séguin Leads Juilliard Orchestra at Tully - Review - The New York Times; She said it was the best orchestral experience of her life. Now she has to soldier through theory and piano exams.</p>
