Well, ok, it's been awhile. I was reminded of that last night at Macey's. Thanks Shane! :)

I am happy to report that all is well. I hesitate to say that, because I always think I am going to jinx things. We never know what to think when things go right. We are too used to things going so very wrong. Don't get me wrong, we welcome all the good things, and we acknowledge the many blessings and miracles that we have witnessed over the past 4 years. We have had more than our share of goodness and miracles, and know that we can never in our lifetime repay everyone for your prayers and acts of service in our behalf. We try to do our part by getting back into the mode of being the servers, not the served. :)

Brent is holding steady and is back to work, working hard at getting back to full-time status. Since the accidental pulling of the drain by the surgeon, all has been well, and we just hold our breath that another abscess will not form. He is eating still, but will always have to have the IV TPN for nutrition as he does not absorb enough nutrition from the food he eats. Right now he is on 4 nights a week.

We just spent time down in St. George for spring break with Tina and David (and Michelle for a day). We had so much fun finding geo-caches in the red rocks above St. George, hiking in Zion's, and spending time with family and friends. Brent commented that he was very tired, but it was a good tired. He was able to see just how far he could push himself. We are paying for it today . . . at least he has an excuse.

Tina is completely healed and doing so much better since her heart ablation. She has her energy back, and is back to doing EVERYTHING she possibly can.

People often ask us about Joseph. Joseph also has Crohn's. He is doing really well since his surgery. He maintains his health with injections of Humira. He's trying to survive a difficult semester at BYU with an engineering math class kicking his butt.

Wow, we are one screwed up family in the health department. David, Michelle and I are doing great!! :)

We are doing a yard sale on May 1st for Crohn's and Colitis if you want to donate anything around your house or come buy anything. Everything we earn will be put towards our team "No Guts Moore Glory" for the Crohn's and Colitis Walk in Salt Lake City on May 15th. Should be fun!
