Hugs

I love Italy and I love hugs, so you know I loved this:



Actually, it made me cry a little. :)

Julia Update

Forgive me for the belated update, but Julia had a check-up on Wednesday and good news abounds!! The veins they were concerned about are free and clear and functioning normally! Most of the blood has cleared (about 70%) and the doctors were actually surprised at how much it had cleared (yay!). So basically she's sitting at best case scenario. :)

They will have another follow-up in two months and at this point, they won't be dealing with anything catastrophic. I asked Mark if this meant there were no risks for long-term effects and he said, they were only speaking with the neurologist, so that info applies only to the specific area of her brain. I think they have another doctor who will be able to address that point a little more clearly later. I'll post if I get any other news. But for now, ANSWERED PRAYER - WOOOO!!!

M's Tickets - Tonight!

Hi friends!

Turns out neither Mark nor I can make it to the game tonight, so if you're interested in going, let us know - we'd love to share! The M's are playing the Angels tonight and are in the midst of a win-streak. Should be a fun game (plus there is a train give-away tonight, woot woot!)
