Nice to get an update on everyone.
Many congratulations to Thad and Emily! I will pray for guidance for them as they look to the future. Not sure about our schedule that weekend but will let you know.
Sandy, glad that you were able to find inner peace and calm in a very anxiety-provoking situation. I do not know any neurologists in the Atlanta area to help guide your search. I can ask one of my friends here who is a pediatric neurologist. Not sure if he will have any leads, but worth a shot. As a side note, turns out he grew up in Brookwood Hills.
We continue at a hectic pace. James is playing on a year-round soccer team and a basketball team. With school, piano, and Cub Scouts I am confused most days as to his schedule. Luckily he has a father that thrives on planning and replanning. Kathryn, in a bid not to be outdone by her brother, as always, continues with gymnastics and basketball. She is already lobbying for T-ball in the spring. We are all looking forward to Spring Break at Disney World and Bill is investigating tickets for the Shuttle launch currently scheduled for 3/12. He and the future astronaut will go to Cape Canaveral while the princess and I remain for more Disney. Her big activity will be breakfast with the Disney princesses on her 6th birthday.
Bill is currently applying for the Teach for Tennessee program that accepts people with math/science/engineering degrees and at least 5 years of work experience to be trained as teachers without having to return to college. Will keep you posted.
My work is quite busy. I just learned that another of my colleagues is leaving to take a great job in Boston. I suspect my work will be busier. If you remember the saga of the abdominal pain over Christmas. I now have no symptoms. My endoscopy showed gastritis and I continue on acid blockers. However, my ultrasound shows gallstones and another type of scan showed that the duct to my gallbladder is blocked. Next referral is to a surgeon. Hate to submit to surgery for pain that does not exist (at least at the moment). I am continuing to weigh my options but will at least go get the surgeon's opinion.
