This past year has been especially difficult with regards to medical related   
   things with two of my kids.     
      
   First, we completed the long awaited Hirschsprung's corrective surgery.  This   
   involved multiple operations over a period of a few months.  All went   
   excellent and that has been completed.   
      
   Second, was my daughter's herniated disc back in March.  That operation went   
   great and that has been resolved.   
      
   Third, on April 1st, my son (still getting used to being Hirschsprung's free)   
   was diagnosed was Leukemia (B-ALL).  That was a huge shock to us - especially   
   since he has already been through more medical procedures than many gown   
   adults.   
      
   He has been responding great to the treatment and was in total remission on   
   day 29.  It is a long treatment plan - 7 months of typically, weekly   
   treatments/visits.  Followed by once every 12 weeks for several years in the   
   maintenance phase.   
      
   Taking things day by day and week by week.  There are good days and not so   
   good ones, but overall things have been really good and heading in the right   
   direction.
