My life outside the seminary

From now until June 2nd, I am home in Maine.

Rather than bore you with the mundane life  "on vacation", I'd like to reflect back on the medical issues the family who lives with me in Maine has suffered this year.  With all this going on, I still managed to concentrate on my studies (most days).

You have probably read about my vertigo attack and hospital say last September.

My brother-in-law had a serious heart situation where the doctors told him the next  heart attack would be his last.  They seem to have backed off from that statement, but still.

My dad had a major heart incident while visiting family in Alabama.  He was in the hospital for 5 nights.  He elected to forgo the surgery and oxygen tank.  At 92, he can do whatever he wishes.

My sister just had an aggressive, cancerous, golf ball sized brain tumor removed.  She is starting  followup treatment next week.

It has been an exciting first year at the seminary.  But, thank God, we are all here and still doing OK.
