: SOOOOOOOOO happy all went well for Ang! Wow...the

bronchoscopy results must have made you feel very reassured. And Ang is

going to love having those polyps out I'm sure! Just so relieved!!!

Thanks for posting what's up and I'm glad you took her home early since

you had the option. I agree with Dorothy, " There's no place like home. "

Jen: No kidding...on my post yesterday to you my first line was all I

could think about was the mountain of laundry you must have from that

trip. I deleted it because I thought...I can't post about her laundry

with all those kids...and then I read your post this am and started

cracking up!!!! Thirty loads, and Ron took them to the laundry

mat????? I think he deserves Partner of the Week Award! Especially

after having to break in to his own home to get them. Now that could

have been a " soap " had a passing good samaritan motorist viewed this and

called the police on their cell phone. And then when the police

arrived they saw the suspect suspiciously loading his car with the

alleged victim's dirty laundry. Of course when they went in to your

room to investigate the alleged crime scene, they find you, the alleged

victim, unconscious sitting straight up in bed holding your children

surrounded by suspicious looking and smelling vapors rising all around

you. And of course they call the ambulance as you mumble something

about Ron, Neb, and Zan Tack...could these be accomplices??? And they

say Holland isn't exciting!!!

All: Kenzie's doing well, but just her normal Go Go Go self. I find

myself laughing at her antics more than getting stressed these days.

Two really is an incredible age!

Love...Sue

Oh, ee! I'd be concerned too! Having his back hurting

is strange isn't it? I'm not experienced with possible problems

following surgery, but I know my daughter had a kidney infection

when she was 1 1/2 and it caused her back to hurt too.

I'd be worried too I guess about some kind of infection, but I

guess the best way to allay those fears is to have him checked out.

Hello ,

I hope is doing better now, it sounds like you should contact the

doctors again if that fever is still up. Have you tried Ibuprophen to

releave the pain and fever? I am not a doctor but that has worked well with

my children so maybe it is worth a try. Sorry to hear he is still in pain.

Hope today will be better. How was Angle Flights? I have thought about

contacting them for my travel but live in Mass. and are traveling to NY

weekly for castings with Dr. Feldman & Dr. Van Bosse they practice the

Ponseti method since they trained with Dr. Ponseti. I will try to write

later on but must get ready for my travel in the morning 3 am to NY City.

Take Care, Kathy
