This past year has been especially difficult with regards to medical related
things with two of my kids.  

First, we completed the long awaited Hirschsprung's corrective surgery.  This
involved multiple operations over a period of a few months.  All went
excellent and that has been completed.

Second, was my daughter's herniated disc back in March.  That operation went
great and that has been resolved.

Third, on April 1st, my son (still getting used to being Hirschsprung's free)
was diagnosed was Leukemia (B-ALL).  That was a huge shock to us - especially
since he has already been through more medical procedures than many gown
adults.

He has been responding great to the treatment and was in total remission on
day 29.  It is a long treatment plan - 7 months of typically, weekly
treatments/visits.  Followed by once every 12 weeks for several years in the
maintenance phase.

Taking things day by day and week by week.  There are good days and not so
good ones, but overall things have been really good and heading in the right
direction.
