What's new?



Oh my , it has been busy time and a worrying time. My oldest son had been suffering from an intestinal ailment for many weeks, with several hospitalizations. Finally they convinced him that they needed to do surgery to get at the root of the problem, despite his other medical conditions that made them hesitate that long. What they found were a number of perforations and abscesses in the intestines, with a lot of dead tissue. No wonder he had been throwing up for weeks and finally having a lot of pain. Long story, short version. He had the surgery and is now on the mend. I talked to him this a.m. and he sounded very alert and cheerful. the best I've heard him sound for a few months. Whew! Here are two pics. One when he was a baby, and one from about 10 years ago on a camping trip.
