Update on Me (if anybody cares) The Dr's office called yesterday and said they'd scheduled an appointment for discussing taking care of my thyroid through radiation. I said OK. Then, the Radiologist called me an hour later and said he wanted to do it over the phone, and give me the radiation treatment today. So I talked with him for quite a while. He says I have Graves disease (updated : I previously said White's disease), and highly recommended the radiation treatment, although there are a couple of other options. After weighing out the options, I've decided to go ahead and do the radiation treatment, because it doesn't completely kill the thyroid. It just severely hurts it. I'll be taking a good dose of Iodine-131 , which has the sideaffect of not being around my unborn baby for a while, which in turn means staying away from Erica. That won't be fun.

I think we all know that she only gets mail sent directly to her missionary email address, or mail sent via the postal service.
If you feel the need to ensure she gets every blog post, feel free to copy & paste. I'll just send her my updates via mail.
Just FYI, at first any news from home is great, but later that changes. I remember being in the field and getting letters from friends and such about dances, boys, etc. and thinking, "Why are they telling me this? Who cares about this kind of stuff?" I think we are all writing to Buffalo and that she will have no shortage of things to read. I don't think she'll care at all about the stuff on our blog. Like Katie said, if it's something she'd be interested in, we'll certainly tell her. I think she'll have a lot better things to do with her time and I don't want her to feel obliged to read our blog when it's not that interesting.
Don't try to read more into my posts than just a mother's love for her child in transition, as I did for my other children. I only asked for feedback, as I never get feedback from anyone but Kim (on my blogs), so without it, I still wouldn't know if I should send it or not.
