Stress passed

The surgery and the MRI both went flawlessly, and we're now at home recovering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Thankfully, our stress was not a consequence of any medical concern but a response to the ferry schedule (for those not from the island--ferry stress is a natural phenomenon, accentuated in type-A personalities, resulting from the inordinate desire to accomplish everything on one's off-island to-do list and yet make the next ferry. Symptoms include speeding, praying, blaming your spouse for delays, and increased blood pressure levels).
At this point Dr. Perkins feels Biz should have bi-monthly, rather than quarterly, check-ups so our next round of appointments is being scheduled for the third week of June--the same week that we take Lydia to the airport for her missions trip. I may not survive such a week of fatherly trauma...

We are always so thankful to Jesus after these appointments for the quality of the doctors we have had caring for Biz. You can rejoice with us that so many of our questions were answered and that there was so much "good news."
