Medicinality


Friends and Allies,

Here's a little medical update for you, as we've had our share of procedures and tests lately. I think you'll like this post.

Incidentally, thanks to everyone who called and wrote us about these, it really does help.

Zach's MRI results came back completely normal. Which means his original diagnosis of Benign Rolandic Epilepsy stands. This is really good news because that is the kind that he will outgrow.

HB's test for gestational diabetes was also normal. Another big relief as this simplifies things drastically and makes us all a little more relaxed.

Finally, Heather's mom's stint procedure went great, they inserted two of the little stainless steel buggers in a row, and now she is feeling much better. She's got a little dizziness, but nothing serious.

And just to add something in here for me, I have to have a pre-cancerous skin thingy removed from me on Thursday. Seems I really should have listened to my mom in Florida that one year when we ran around without sunscreen on.
