Much healthier in CA

The running joke with many of my friends in Corpus was how nasty and lethal Corpus was for all of our healths...it seemed to be swarming with some kind of illness or pollution or something. While there...we had our fair share. But as a point of interest on the subject, since we have been back in San Diego, we have:
- been able to help our Baby Bob to catch up on his growth...where it was quite deficient in Corpus.

- Baby's kidney which was abnormal in Corpus...is no longer such an issue

-The latest great news, Christian's ear which required 2 surgeries in Corpus with a crazy, somewhat-rare ear disease called cholesteotoma...just was examined by a new great ENT doc here in San Diego and recieved a clean, healthy bill of health. What a relief. We think it may have been the 1st time in many years this has been so. The only new discussion is when/if to do a surgery to assist his hearing. But it would not require cutting off his ear, as in his previous 2 surgeries. It would take place inside the ear cavity that was made much larger at his last surgery. We are so encouraged by this check up....And can't help but think maybe it has something to do with location=)

Did we mention how much we love to be back here in sweet home SD??

dude, it's not a joke. I am a true believer that Corpus is bad for your health! My kids' have never been as sick as they are here. All kidding aside, I am so happy things are looking better for Christian and the baby.
