UP DATE

Dear Family,
I hope everyone is doing very well to great.. Mom and I are doing very well.. Mom is working extra hard trying to get the right start in her new position as nurse educator.. but she realy seem to enjoy it a lot.. She went to the Celebrity Concert Series, last night with some friends here in the ward, and saw Romeo and Juliet and Chopiana Ballet, she had a a very good time and really enjoyed her self..
I had my Dr's appointment last Wed. My blood is staying in the low high range, which means that I am almost normal but not quite.. The doctor reduced my one med by one pill, that may not sound like very much but to me it felt like a gaint step.. we are trying to reduce the med very slowly to allow my body to make a slow adjustment.. The last time they reduced my med they did it one lump sum, this made my body start to react funny and I got really sick and my blood went down very fast which caused me to have to be transfused several times before everything started to turn around...
Our weather has spoiled us the last month in the middle 60's, well tonight we are having winds in the 30-45 mile an hour range and bring us some rain and a cold snap.. Reports are that more rain and cold weather is due on sat./sun.. oh well!!we must learn to take a little bad with the good..
My family It would be so nice to have some one beside Jan, and I, do an entry on our family blog.. If you could find the time it would really mean alot to me..
Jan, I really did enjoy the thoughts you shared on you personal blog and on the family blog.. You are very right when you reflect, it is not easy to be a Mom.. there are times when you ask for the wisdom of the ages to help protect your children from the pains of growing up.. Parents would do almost anything to keep them from going through the hurtful things we went through as we grow up.. The one thing I have learned over the many years is, our children often want to expeirence the chance to see if they can do it better than we did.. And sometimes they do because they may have watch us closer than we knew.. As for when our children want to move out on their own I know there was never a good time.. I know I was wrong to feel that way because everyone must learn to make it in this life on the own.. just like you did when you turned eighteen.. I don't think you will ever know how many sleepless nights I had worrying about how you safe you were etc.. but you did great, and learned life was not all fun and games,but also filled with alot of hard work..
Well my special Family, I want to tell each of you how very much you each mean to me, I am so very proud of each of you for the great example you are to me by the way you live your lives... LOVE DAD
