When I took a glance at my calander last night - I realized I had forgotten that we went to St. Jude this morning. Had a full morning planned, but decided we better go ahead and get it over with since school ball practice starts next week. Got there fine, had the usual talk before they drew blood about how bad Ann's veins are - finally after digging around in her hand for about five minutes they finally squeezed out enough blood to run the tests they needed. All came back fine. Our usual Dr. we have seen every visit since we left was out today and had to see someone else - good thing we have not had her for the past 14 yrs. or our visits probably would have stopped long ago - can't exactly explain what was bad about her - just made me as well as Ann very uncomfortable. Oh well, its over now for another year - this chick we saw today said they will release Anna when she is 18, but Richard (who we ALWAYS see) has told us they will continue to follow her for longer than that - so who knows - we will just go back next year and see what Richard says.
Mr. Wyatts heart cath went well - he had some blockage but Dr. Hill didn't feel it was signifigant enough to put a stint in at this point - will follow up in a year and see if there are any changes.
We enjoyed a visit this week with Jesse and Stefanie - hard to believe that they are all grown up - Jesse will be out in just about a year.

Glad to hear the St Jude visit went well. Some of my most vivid memories of the past 20 years are visiting you, Hal, and Anna at St. Jude.
Btw, our math club raises $12-15k each year in November to send to St. Jude. That's the only fundraiser we do that benefits a non-school group.
Hey to the girls and to Hal...
I enjoyed reading your blog. Our babies are growing up aren't they? I know the girls will be glad when that first school day is over. I know it will go great! Best wishes to them.
