Wow, am I ever far behind. I'm looking at the most recent post and it's from last year and I was stating that I was behind even then. My sincerest apologies to all who have been reading. First off, let me say that the Lyme Disease scare that I had was a false positive test that had come back. After waiting a few months and then being retested, the conclusion was the results from the first test were not true. Whewwwwwwwww..that was a huge load off of my mind when I found that out, because I heard that some people can suffer years with the symptoms.

Ayla and I have been doing well. We are still waiting on the schedule for her surgeries to take place and hope to hear something by this Tuesday. Ayla is a huge fan of Taylor Hicks and we were checking out his website and some pictures and listening to music of his when we came across his Official Soul Patrol site. We were browsing the forum pages and noted this one post about the Snoopy Dance and that it was where Taylor got all his "moves" from, but you couldn't view the video unless you became a member. Mind you, it's after midnight and this child of mine is still up, so I told her that I'd get her registered and help her to write some posts if she "promised" to go to bed. LOL..well..it worked. (After she found out that he is going to be at the Big E here on the 29th she was all excited which is why I couldn't get her to go to bed earlier, we were both reading about the concert details.) To make a long story short, she finally went to bed and I decided that I'd try and get her website updated a bit.

You can read more about her surgeries on the Health Update page, but I will explain briefly here that she will have 3 surgeries at Shriners Hospital here in Springfield and will be in the hospital approximately 2 months. We were expecting the first surgery to take place the end of September, but are still waiting for her doctor to confirm that for us. I would like her to be able to see Taylor at the Big E in concert before she goes in for her surgeries if it works out.  That's all for now....more very soon.
