A quick update on Ales - Ralph and he visited with the Cardiologist yesterday. AJ is scheduled for a treadmill stress test next week, In the mean time, he is off from sports. The doctor is keeping him on a beta-blocker for a couple of months, and if nothing happens in those two months, he will taper him off the meds, continuing to monitor him. If everything goes smoothly, that should be the end of it - a once time anomaly. But.....if not, we will look at different treatments available. The beta-blockers won't be the best choice for AJ at his age - they keep his heart rate down, even when exercising, so when he plays soccer, he will get tired faster, etc. There is a surgery available, but...it is surgery, with all the inherent risks of surgery. I'm hoping it was just the one time anomaly, and it never happens again!

Mm and David made a flying trip down yesterday, and Mom bought her RV! Okay - she put a down-payment on it, and now is working on the loan. The plan is now for her to come down next Wednesday to pick it up. Cool! It is pretty, and I feel a road trip coming on!
