Danielle and I made the executive decision to force Alex back to school today. She still has bruises and scratches but nothing awful. We put a lot of coverup on her face and reminded her to wash it right off after school so the air can get in and heal her skin. Of course our air is disgusting and smokey so I'm not sure how much good that's doing, but whatever.
I called Alex's guidance counselor to let her know that Al's face is a wreck last week when it happened so all her teachers knew already. She said today it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, that people didn't even realize she'd been out or if they did, didn't make a big deal. I knew they wouldn't - kids show off their bullet wounds so there's no way someone would care about a jacked up face.

I am VERY happy things worked out.
OMG! Catching up with blogs after a busy week. I can't believe this whole thing! Poor Alex!!! I can't BELIEVE your Aunt. She seems to have a stone where a heart should be. And who would jump an 11-year old. (I know, I know, it happens all the time. I just hate that we live in a world as messed up as it is)
It sounds like you are handling this amazingly well. Your sisters are truly fortunate to have you in their lives. I'm sorry you have to carry so much of the weight, but I respect how you're doing it.
