Andy is 5
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Andy had a full four days of  birthday celebration. We had a big party at Pump it Up! on Saturday (same place we had Sam’s - I swear in my next life I’m going to open a Pump it Up! The place is a goldmine). The kids had a great time and Andy was in his element. Maureen came […]
Ankle Update
Friday, January 25th, 2008Sam is already walking better with the new braces. He’s only had them for 3/4 of a day. I swear I’m not imagining it. Stupid, stupid mother for not doing this sooner. Argh. I am so mad at myself. The wonderful sports medicine doctor we saw today, Dr. Martinez was great. He did a full work up […]
Worries
Thursday, January 24th, 2008We got back last week’s VMA/HVA and it is good. VMA 4.6 (same) HVA 8.5 (down from 10.5). The Veg F number is 333. It was 31 in October. It is now five times normal. Five times normal is never a good thing. Veg F is an inflammatory marker and can signal cancer, it can also signal […]

How about those Chargers?!! Wohoo! We watched the game at the Savocas and it was mayhem with everyone screaming at the top of their lungs for most of the […]
VMA: 4.4 HVA 10.5
Thursday, January 10th, 2008 The VMA is down from 4.6 – I was wrong last week when I said it was 6 point something -that’s what I get for doing an update without the numbers handy. The HVA up from 9.5. We are more concerned with the VMA as the HVA can be due to different things in […]
Happy New Year!
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008 We are back from New Mexico and I’m back from my progress report vacation. The boys had a wonderful time in New Mexico. It was parka and snow boots kind of cold and there was snow on the ground much to the boys’ delight. We went sledding up at the ski hill which was a […]
