Have them redo the panel..for your peace of mind.
If her cholesterol is elevated in the second test then keep a food diary to help you pinpoint areas you can improve.
Red yeast rice is also a healthy supplement that can lower cholesterol. You can discuss that with your daughter's doctor.
My son is on a special high fat diet so this is one of our constant problems.

Yes, we started out that way. I spent under $30 the first 2-3 years for 1 child.
This year I had 3 schooling (K-4th) so I thought I'd need the extra time and invested in more curricula. I spent $100-150 total for all 3 boys. That includes a math book and workbooks, a grammar/writing curriculum, history, and a science program. I didn't need anything for the Kindergartner so all of that money was spent on the 3rd and 4th grader.
I don't count garage sale/library sale finds. I pick those up as they come. I've also received cast-offs from other homeschoolers as we go along and I've passed on things I couldn't use as well. It's a very sharing community. I don't count the new printer/copier we got this year (dh purchased it) or ink. We'd be buying those anyway, even if we would be replacing them much more slowly if we weren't homeschooling. :tongue_smilie:
I think it's fairly easy to do with an 8 year old, and as time goes on I think her dh will feel more invested in the process and be open to more expenses...although maybe not the expenses everyone here puts into their homeschool. That's okay, we're all different.

I love the book and consider it a must read. It really does a good job of showing cyclical human patterns, but I personally find it a little mature (in content, not language) for a 13 year old.
Because of the sexual situations, the starvation, the cruelty, etc. I would wait a year or two (14-16). Most students I know aren't ready to take those subjects on fully and this is a book worth savoring.

The nunchuks are used pretty often for 2-handed games. You steer with the nunchuck and point of gesture with the remote.
If you want the whole family to play I think the extra controllers and nunchuks are well worth it. Just seeing 4 people up there playing at the same time is wonderful.
We also have some more traditional controllers (like nintendo) that we use as well. It just depends on the game.
We personally didn't like Wii fit. It is more of an adult fitness program. I thought it was kind of boring myself. The new Wii Outdoors is a hit with the boys and they do a much bigger range movement. I like that one for excercise or the Mario dance one which is like Dance Dance Revolution.
Which games depends much on the ages and interests of your children.

I found this post on the subject really interesting.
It covers the author's research with:
and his final decision.

When I'm making broth I just use any thin cloth. I have a few old kitchen towels I go to in these situations but a thin pillow case would work.
