I am a parent of 02/951 and they made calls on Sunday. If you are 952 then I would think that they are a week behind and hopefully you will get a call on 09/28

mom2devnchan, I hope thats true. Thanks for the uplifting thoughts. Holding my cell phone like none other!
Hello? I'm sick as well worried! Mine went in 9/9 and I have not seen or heard anything. cept for my box and form letter. Nothing since. WTH?! Supposed to be a call in that three week thing. The letter stuff I'm nervous about! I've written many letters and said he could reply on the back of it. Almost to the end of week three and still nothing. I've got today tomorrow though Saturday..for mail. Sunday hoping for a call, if all other days nothing. We'll see I guess. He's not ever been cold like this. No feedback, isn't him. Guess THIS div must REALLY keep them THAT busy.
Hard to write letters to him when he's NOT responding to my letters or questions. Guess I'll quit writing for a bit. Bout to give up! My other nervous thought is, they BETTER BE getting his letters to HIM!! I have no idea until I get reply.

Austin mom I'm glad I'm not the only one I'm doing my best to make it through day to day without throat punching people who say no news is good news....No no news is no news and it's wearing on my last nerve, but on that note we are down to 6 Thursday's until we will be in Illinois!

Got my call a bit ago! So totally on cloud nine!! He sounded great and we had a few laughs. He said he sent me a four page letter and I should get it this week. He should be getting mine this week to. OMG I couldn't be a happier mom!!! Like giving birth again! Seriously THAT happy. Close to a 30 min call. So glad he's ok and seems happy.
