Much am for Tim and Steph. Pain is, obviously, a very terrible thing.
I am in awe of msbelle, still, and how much she gets done.
Work right before a semester is still continuing to be just terrible, in that everyone needs everything now! Everyone is angry and frustrated. No one can communicate, and I get stuck untangling communication errors and getting shit done. But I have my own shit to do. And then no one wants to do work on the following semester because they are teaching. This three semester teaching schedule is too hard, I think, and we cant make substantive revisions when 30-40 people need help in a two week period! It is like having a fire hose in your mouth because everything is on fire at once!
My son was told at DST Systems, where he is interning, that he'll be offered a job when he graduates. Kid is 17. Seems unreal.
He's 17 and has an internship?? Good lord.
Someone sounds like he inherited Dad's smarts, Gudanov.
Happy belated 10th anniversary to ND and Pix. (Wow, that makes me feel as old as being the mom to a bunch of adults).
Laura and msbelle, I'm glad to read about your sons' progress. When do you expect to make your big move, msbelle?
Teppy, I'm sorry you and Tim are going through so much. I hope he continues to feel better, and that he won't need surgery. When he does pass the superhero threshold, will you be renting him out for odd jobs? Also, are carrots his spinach?
C should be headed back to college in a couple of weeks. However, the course of Crohn's Disease never did run smooth. One of his liver tests has been wonky and got a little wonkier. He has to have a scan later this week.
We're hoping this is just the body's response to resuming his infusions and/or adding the methotrexate. Otherwise, his latest appointment went really well. His inflammation numbers are nice and low. He's hit his target weight (and never weighed this much before in his life, which is nice).
Someday, I'm going to post something which doesn't need to be edited. /Pollyanna

Indeed! So good to hear he is getting this level of encouragement. Is he going to college locally?
Excellent health update, Cindy. I'm sure that C is more than ready to resume the normalcy of going back to school.

When he graduates from high school?? Wow.
C should be headed back to college in a couple of weeks.
That's great to hear!
When he graduates from high school?? Wow.
He graduated high school last summer, this will be when he graduates college.
Is he going to college locally?
Yep, it University of Central Missouri which has a local campus. He should get his associates this summer and his bachelors two years after that. He also won't have any debt.
He's been in a really great local program for tech professionals. I feel like it's going to give him a big jump start in life.

I don't think so, he's way smarter than I am. He's a literal genius.
So great to hear that C is heading back to school. It has to feel good to have sense of normal.
