Mike

Just a quick update: Mike had a dr. appointment today. His fever spiked a little over the weekend and he's still having some intestinal problems. The dr. is concerned b/c this has been going on for 2 weeks now and getting worse. They think either cmv or gvhd so they are doing a colonoscopy on Thursday - I know, more information than you needed. The Nurse Practitioner we saw today almost put him in the hospital but his primary said to keep him out until we get all the tests back on Friday. He has to go back tomorrow for fluids, Thursday he has the C scope and a dr. appt and then his PET scan on Friday. I anticipate he will go back in the hospital this week if they can't figure it out. They said his liver functions are high (not exactly good since he's had liver issues before.) His bone marrow biopsy was today. We will have those results this week. He's not feeling well right now.

On to the other news in my world. As most of you know Mason did not get on the plane on Sunday stating that it was my fault for buying the ticket in the middle of the day on Easter. Most of you know what this means for Mason Holliday who is now an adult. Bri and Mike are disappointed and I'm angry - angry at him for being so selfish and being like his mother and angry at his mother for being self-centered and hateful.

Bri is settling down for her last 2 months as an eighth grader before she is promoted to high school. Apparently this continuation celebration is akin to graduation high school or prom b/c she informed me we need to go "Dress Shopping."

As always and never faltering I am superwoman, see my shiny purple cape and tiara. For those of you interested (read here WOMEN) I am planning a trip after Mike is cleared by the doctors which I would hope is soon. I am planning a MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS PARTY. St. Louis is halfway between Virginia, Colorado and Michigan so all my girls can come on over. It's going to be for a weekend and we're going to get hotel rooms w/ a nice pool and hide from the world in true Sex and the City fashion! More news on this get together in the future...

As always thanks for the prayers and thoughts.
