this weekend we went up to boston to visit my parents; we hadn't had a chance to do that yet, since we went to memphis for christmas this year. it was an awesome time, but nothing went as planned. alex got sick on tuesday, head cold sick. wednesday it sounded worse so the doctor wanted to do rsv testing and chest x-rays. all was well, so we bundled ( Read more... )

the doctors here talked to the surgeon, who verified that the issue we thought he had, he does. he scheduled the surgery for tuesday the 3rd, and we'll be in the hospital until then. first here, and then transferred back to fairfax on monday. it'll be good to be close to home for most of it. he's doing much better - much happier, and back to ( Read more... )

if only it were because the clowns might eat me. i should be thankful i'm not having the sleep problems some of my friends are having. those are !fun. i've been feeling pretty craptastic the past few days as well - that's probably got a lot to do with it. :P
