Things are going much better now.  We moved her out of critical care and into the regular hospital.  They had put 3 units of blood in her and she is looking a lot better having regained all of her color.  She also seems to be maintaining a normal hemoglobin level.  She is still on the clear liquid diet and luckily they are allowing her to have two ( Read more... )

I have good news and bad news and more "ok" news.  Yesterday Kirsten was doing her best yet.  She has been eating things like before and had gone for three short walks meaning that she was at her most energetic since this problem first began ( Read more... )

I went to visit her last night because she was in low spirits.  She is having a tough time to be sure and she is frustrated with how slow her body is recovering and how tired her once strong body has become.  They are putting her on a medicine this morning that should boost her immune system and allow her body to mend the damage ( Read more... )

For those that know Kirsten I have a report on her current health and well being.  Her mother and I put her in the hospital on Saturday.  She was very dehydrated and was happy to get a drink in her arm.  Soon after her cheeks filled out and she was feeling much better.  We watched over her all of Sunday and she was starting to be cheerful, smiling ( Read more... )

After a truely excellent weekend I must now return to the mundanity of my job.  Worse yet they have me doing the worst of all mundane jobs... the interrupt checklist.  This is where I take said Cell Phone Game and attempt to call, text, close the clamshell, and all known ways of screwing with the game that I can possibly do.  I must do this for ( Read more... )

Many times have I gone to SCA events and people seem to want to get dressed up and get their middle eastern groove on.  I've always thought it was fun and I wanted to join in on the party.  Most of these middle eastern parties seem to have the men drumming (cause it's manly to beat on things) while the women dance (usually they wear these skimpy ( Read more... )

The war was a lot of fun.  My fencing was top notch and I have to be proud of myself on this one.  Between the parties at night, building the coracle during the day this was an event to remember.  I truely hope that all of you reading this have something in your lives as truely fun as this.

Just this last Satuday my sister was married!  Congrats to her and my new brother.  The event was a lot of fun and we accomplished it with very few problems.  It was good to see the family get together for a joyful occation.
