Wawrinka eases into third round at French Open

<p>We cannot give enough praise to the teachers and administration of the Home Bound program at Meyers High School and in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District.</p><p>In October 2016, our daughter became ill with severe headaches with no known cause. Many days she could hardly lift her head off the pillow. She would go to school, and shortly after, we would be getting a call from the school nurse, Karen Kwak, to come pick her up.</p><p>Patrick Peters, the vice principal, suggested a program called Home Bound until we found some answers. He gave us paperwork to have filled out by our family doctor, and our journey began.</p><p>She was seen by her eye doctor, her dentist and a headache doctor. All of which brought us no answers.</p><p>She was hospitalized two times before Christmas. During this time, we were set up with Home Bound where our Wilkes-Barre Area teachers came to our home every day after teaching all day. Some even came after coaching.</p><p>Their dedication to their calling went above and beyond being teachers. If not for them, I don&#8217;t know where we would be today. In spite of everything our daughter went through, she always knew she could count of them.</p><p>Thanks to the Children&#8217;s Hospital of Philadelphia, we have found answers and are on a journey toward recovery.</p><p>But the reason I am writing this letter is to thank each teacher and everyone involved in this program. Starting with Kwak, Principal Michael Elias, Peters, the school board who approved the program and my daughter&#8217;s teachers.</p><p>Those also involved include Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Trowbridge, Mrs. Krolewski, Mr. Marcks, Mr. Evank, Mr. Williams, Mr. Oday and Mrs. Lynn Jarnott, who runs the program.</p><p>As parents, we cannot begin to say thank you enough to each and every one that was part of this wonderful program.</p><p><strong>Krys Prula and Keith Gilroy</strong></p><p>Wilkes-Barre</p><style>
