Excuse for Slow Posting

I spent the better part of today at Children's Medical Center with my wife and our 6-year-old daughter. Our daughter was undergoing a colonoscopy to try and find out why she has infrequent, asymptomatic rectal bleeding.

Good news: she has a perfectly healthy colon.

"Bad" news: she has a perfectly healthy colon.

The best news would have been a benign and easily-fixed abnormality that would explain the occasional bleeding. Now, we are just as mystified as after the first episode four years ago and its prior recurrence two years ago.

We're of course extremely relieved that there is nothing really badly wrong with her. But we're still puzzled.

In addition to the stress of worrying about my daughter's condition and surgical procedure, work's been hard recently and our second son has been home with laryngitis and a high fever for several days. This blog has been the last thing on my mind.

I'm taking a one-week break (maybe posting a few more times beforehand) and hope to have some fresh inspiration after.

I appreciate everyone who drops in here. Don't worry, I will be back.
