Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.

                                                    It’s been awhile, what happened  to April?

An amazing two weeks in Mexico ate most of it up and the getting ready and the getting back to normal has pretty much filled up the rest!

On the Monday we came home, Jacqui was scheduled for a follow up appointment.  The results were … well, it’s a “good news, we’ll wait and see news” story.  The “good” news is that other than her left lung everything was clear.  The “we’ll wait and see” news is that there are spots on her left lung… a few that are clearly a result of the surgery (scar tissue, bruising) and then 2 that they are not quite sure about. 

They may be something to worry about or not but nothing will be done about them until the fall as she is still considered in recovery from her surgery in January, but we’re glad that they do have this baseline to work from. 

So in the mean time

 she’s busy, busy, busy – working, playing, getting ready to move out, meeting new friends,

reconnecting with old ones – just living her life…

So we’ll live, love and laugh right along with her!
