Nothing is more exciting than not keeping up with the promise of writing a page every week. So my weekly updates appear to be more of the monthly update style, but I am trying. I could always say that not much is happening and there was nothing to write about, but that would be no fun for anyone.
Lets start out with the Christopher update. We still do not have a reason for his iron deficiency and Chris will be going back to Vanderbilt tomorrow to have some more tests done to see if the doctors can see what's going on. Chris will be having another colonostopy to see where he is bleeding from, note that he still has blood in his stool and that has doctors concerned. Suffice to say Chris is having to go through a lot of poking and prodding plus having to go through unpleasant experiences with enemas which have to be done for the procedure tomorrow. Hopefully this will be the last of the procedures to find out what is going on with him.
Matthew started his summer school 2 weeks ago at a new school in Columbia. This will be his school when the regular school year starts up, but we wanted to keep him active and focused on his education during the summer. So Matthew goes 3 times a week for 5 hours per day. He is already testing the waters with the teacher to see how much he can get away with. This was the kind of stuff a child would have done at age 3 and 4 years old, and Matthew is just now really pushing those buttons. (fun)
Terri has been dealing with the kids since school got out and has not been able do whatever she wants to do.
I (Tim) have just going to work and playing Mahjong and FreeCell on the computer, occasionally I do something productive like work etc.
Other than that not a great deal is happening here, but I'm sure there is stuff that I missed in all of this and will have to write about later. but for now I will close and get this published on the web for you to read so here we go.
