LONG over due update!

I was realizing today that I have not updated this blog in a very long time.  A few things medically have happened (dr's appointment and getting reports from specialists) and even more non-medical (nephews birthday party, conversating with brother, nephews dr appointment) things have occured.  Instead of just posting a pile of updates that will have the date stamp of a few days among them, I have decided that I will back date the entries to the day that they acctually occured.  I will then post in this post the links to those entries so things don't get too confusing (hopefully).  Will start the updates tonight and will probably take a day or two to finish them all.  So basically, until there are a lot of links in this entry, I would just wait until I post those links before reading entries.
