The Kim family tragedy is freaking me out a little bit in a personal way because apparently they were headed to Gold Beach, Oregon. Gold Beach is where my dad crashed his plane. I have lately been wondering if the wreckage is still there in the mountains--apparently it's often left if it's in a place where it would be difficult to remove. But they had to go there to get his body, so I don't know.

Aubrey is here watching Blue (Bless you, Aubrey!) so I am supposed to be working--and I am, but I took a short break to write this. I hope I don't get in trouble with Aubrey. :P Anyway, I just wanted to note that Evan saw a neurosurgeon this morning who showed us his ruptured disk on the MRI and recommended surgery, which will hopefully be scheduled for next week. I don't know anything about recovery times or measures yet.

I'm not really mainstream Adventist, either. I'm conservative, but a lot more open minded than the typical Adventist. That has earned me the label "liberal" from some. :P

They don't know what kind of tumor it is, but guessing it's benign. My consultation with a neurosurgeon is on Dec. 22.

I'm sorry about your dad... :(:(

Hey, what's up with that tumor? :-)

The doctor said he wasn't too concerned about it. He gave me a couple of options. I could either wait six months and see what happens, going back in for another MRI, undergo radiation therapy, or have surgery. We're waiting for six months. No insurance. :P
