Hi Carla,

My brother Rick just got thru having a 2nd stent inserted, he's fine and back home.  My mom was also in the hospital recently for a small hernia, she had to stay longer than expected but she's okay...she has had medical problems for several years now.

I'd like to remember my stepson today, it's his birthday and he has been distant from the family for about 2 years because of past problems but we always tell him he's welcome to visit.  We rarely get to see him and his little daughter.  We're hoping to get in touch with him this weekend.  It's probably just a phase of young adulthood, I hope it passes.
