As most of you know, Jay saw the doctor earlier this month for his every 3 months visit. The doctor was shocked that he had gone back to work and commented that he looked better. Amazingly, Jay didn't really feel better and as it turns out, blood work shows that he's not. He didn't move far "up" the list, just up one spot from a 17 to an 18, but I suspect the trend begins again. We will see. He sees the hepatologist in March - that will of course, be more blood work and some other tests that she always does.
Everything else is status quo which I guess is good.
Hope all in your world is well!
Love,

Mid-February
Can it be that the month is half over? How does that happen? It's true what my mother used to say...time flies (especially as you get older!).
Not much has changed around the house...work for me is the same except for some incredibly long hours right now. Jay is doing pretty good and has been able to work full-time since he went back in January. He went to the doctor yesterday, so his bloodwork results should be forthcoming quickly. The doctor was surprised that he was back at work full-time and even more surprised at how good he looked. I must admit that he does seem a little better physically.
Zach pledged to Alpha Eta Rho last night - the only International Aviation Fraternity in the world. He's still "flying the hair off the dog," and loving every minute of it. He is losing a roommate (apparently the other two are having problems getting along), so he's started looking at new apartments. They'll live out their lease (until June) and then I think he's planning to move into his own place. He has to take one aviation class this summer as it's only offered this summer and then again, the summer AFTER his senior year, so he will stay in Durant for the summer, again. You'd think I'd get used to the fact that he's not coming home, but...
I did spend last Friday afternoon with him - first time I've done some alone time with him in a very long time. It was fun - we ate and shopped, went to the airport to see the newest plane and I met one of the instructors Zach talks about all time. It was such a nice afternoon - it's amazing to me how "old" he seems. He'll be 20 in April, but sometimes I forget that he's still a young man. He's always been an "old soul," but he's definitely gotten older since he left home. He's become such a responsible young man ... concerned about himself of course, but about the world at large. Just amazing.
Have been trying to find ways to fill our time since football season ended - the Wylie girls have made the basketball playoffs, so our football crew has begun going to those games. Funny how you can find 7 people you never get tired of! We've discussed soccer, but good Lord...it's too cold for me to sit outside, even if Wylie is winning! I'm ready for softball and baseball season...I never tire of that...maybe because I played for so long!
I'm thinking of everyone and hoping that all are safe, happy and healthy.
Love to you all!
