This is Danielle, posting again under Susie, until I can be a contributor.
It has come to my attention that there are a few things (ok.. let's be honest.. many things) that I am unaware of, a natural biproduct of being missing for so long. First, there are many a baby in our clan. Please, can everyone update me on your child/children with names and ages. Second, Jana is getting married I have gathered from the whole "save the date" cards that were sent out. Jana- CONGRATS!!! that is so wonderful! I am so happy for you. Please tell me who this guy is and how you met. This is all so very exciting. Third, Susie what is this I read about you and health problems? It sounds serious if you are unable to work. I'm so sorry! And finally to everyone else that I do not have much of an update, please feel free to leave a comment to my post giving me the 411 on how you are doing. I am quite eager to learn about it all. For example, Traci you have a pet named Cosmo? Is this correct? I want to learn about this pet? And Rachel is auditioning for an opera? This is wonderful! I'm intrigued and want to know more. And where is Shari K. these days? And Amber how are you and your family? I believe you have also a relatively new addition to your family, is this correct? How is Chris? And Amy, you and Greg are in the mission field? How is that? and how is motherhood treating you especially in a new country?
As for me, my son Luke has finally gotten over having a stomach virus that rendered him lifeless for about 3 days. He's finally getting color back into his cheeks and a smile that I have really missed. Nothing is truly worse than having your child vomitting and they have no idea what is happening to them and their body. It broke my heart. But alas, he's doing better and finally sleeping in his own bed. Which makes Tim happy because he doesn't have to sleep on the couch any more. Ruby and I spent a mother/daughter day together yesterday at Disneyland and it was a fantastic time. She really is maturing into a brilliant and funny girl. A chip off the ol' block I always say.
Please keep me posted and updated on all that is going on.
Love,
Danielle

Thanks so much for the concern. I am actually right just down with a pretty crazy flu (got tested for the Whooping Cough! I've got to say that seemed fairly exotic!) As for the bigger medical issues, I just have some bizarre thing that is making me grow rounder, near diabetic, a bit hairy where I shouldn't be, fatigued, weirdly moody, hot flashing, etc. I also seem to catch every flu that goes around. So, the current diagnosis is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (nicely called the Circus Freak Disease by a close friend). And they are looking to see if instead all the adventure is due to Cushings Disease. The first is better because it doesn't require brain surgery for the little tumor that would be living on my pituitary gland. However, if it is a tumor, then I don't have to live with the symptoms the rest of my life. With PCOS, it's just fun, fun, fun for years to come. All of my labs are weirdly borderline, so I just get to wait and see. I've got to say, my new favorite test is peeing into a jug for 24 hours and saving it in the fridge in between additions (DON'T MIX IT UP WITH THE MILK!) -- When not peeing in a jug, I am happily working at my own practice for marriage and family therapy. So, life is all right. = )
Susie- I'm so sorry. I actually know what Cushings Disease is, our family dog Jessi has it and I have seen what it is doing to her and I seriously pray that is not the case with you. It truly seems a disease that it would sbsolutely be terrible for humans. So I guess if we have to hope for anything it would be PCOS, right? And for the peeing in the jug thing, I actually know about that from personal experience. Last year during my pregnancy with Luke, I tested high on something and needed to do the 24 hour pee in a jug thing. What a bother! I'll keep you in my thoughts.
This is funny, it looks like I'm having a conversation with myself! Thanks so much for the kind thoughts. I'd love to see pictures of you munchkins -- can you post some?
much love!
