First, thank you for all the prayers re: my daughter. We really thought the lipsotripsy was going to help, but she keeps developing stones.

I really am at a loss.

She needs to be a fulltime student to be covered on DH's health insurance. Her grades are good, but her attendance is not.

We were considering having her stay with my Mom, attend ASU - she could even do some online classes.

Then today my Mom admitted to me that she may have to take us up on our offer to live with us, as she just isn't bringing in enough money to cover her bills. We have no problem with her moving in - but it will entail moving my brother which is a nightmare.

And I am not sure where to put everybody.

Plus, my daughter really thinks she would like to go to ASU, she misses her friends, she hates the cold, and doesn't care if she ever sees snow again. EVER. But she is not keen on UNLV.

I just am not sure what to do to try to help everyone.

Praying as you discern the right course of action for your dd and for your mother. I can see a NV girl having difficulty with the KS winters! We just got three inches of snow today after 60s earlier this week.

These are some weighty decisions you face, Laura! I'm praying for you and your dh and your entire family during this time of discernment.
