Catch-all

Well this post has been a long time coming. Life has been busy busy busy since I finished our NY recaps.

My uncle passed away recently and we have been quite busy dealing with the funeral preparations etc. It's a long story but the short version is that he came down with a "cold" in November, after it didn't get better in a few days, he was mis-diagnosed with Pneumonia. My aunt (a nurse) disagreed with the assessment and took him for a second opinion. Turns out it was stage 4 melanoma. He received that diagnoses on November 11th. No other symptoms except a cough and feeling under the weather. He had had regular physicals and regular appointments/check-ups with a dermatologist. Clearly they missed something big. I don't think they were ever even able to determine where the cancer came from it was so widespread into every single organ by the time they found it but he fought it for 2 months before passing away.

It has been a sad time here for our families and I hope you will keep his family in your prayers as they struggle to deal with all of this.

In addition to all of this, I have had a horrible flu and hacking cough that I just can't seem to shake and have just been miserable. I don't think I make a very good sick person. In fact, it may be worse then the "man cold." It has been an exciting time around here let me tell yah.

Ya'll, I have been coughing so much that it's been kicking my gag reflex like woah. Try explaining that one to work....fuuuuun times.

Hopefully I'll get caught up at some point but in the meantime, hope you all are well!
