Can't wait for 2009

This year has not been the best medical year for the family...and that may be the understatement of the year. That said, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel- successful cancer treatment, recovery from heart attack, diagnosis of heart syndromes, and surgery to eliminate ear infections. But prior to the end of the year, the powers that be keep dishing out medical hurdles. The latest have been kidney stones for Wes' brother and my brother. Seriously, they passed stones within weeks of each other and comparable sizes (gross that I know what sizes the stones were). Unfortunately, Michael was not able to make it down to Houston for Thanksgiving....the good news is that he will be in town for Thanksgiving and my birthday!!!

The medical visits keep coming...we are averaging at least 2 office co-pays a week. Last week I had my stress test which apparently went well because I did not hear from the cardiologist...next week it is radiation follow up and dental visits. So we continue to grow our medical expertise...hopefully that will be done soon.
